Hi Sue
This is Deb, my father is Arnold, and my Mother is the one who battled cancer for 14 months. Lung, glands above both kidneys, bone, and brain, it then moved into her liver. At the beginning she received IV therapy through the alternative medicine Dr. along with chemo and radiation. I believe the IV treatments helped boost her weaken system. But she failed to "help herself" in diet and exercise. She was 73. Here is a Support group I found searching for GBM you might be interesting in.
If you are connected to the Internet, you may want to join The Brain Tumor E-Mail Discussion Group. This group is comprised of hundreds of patients and caregivers along with a few health professionals. It works in this way -- you would e-mail your medically related question(s) to the entire group. Within minutes, hundreds of people will receive your message. It very common to receive several helpful replies from others. Some replies are sent to the whole group, others are sent directly to you. This discussion group is very active; expect to receive 50+ messages a day. Simply delete messages you are not interested in reading. For many subscribers, it serves as an irreplaceable support group. To join this list -- simply send e-mail to listserv@mitvma.mit.edu, leave the subject blank and simply put 'subscribe braintmr yourfullname' in the body of the message
The Dr. we went to was in Lake Villa, IL.I can call and see if there is someone he recommends in your area. May the Great Physician give you strength and see you through.
Sincerely
Deb
