My mom was just diagnosed with brain cancer on Friday. The doctor says it is GMB. Stage 4. I dont know much about this cancer except what I have read on the intenet. I keep telling myself that the doctor was wrong. She had surgery on Monday and he removed 50% maybe more. My mom is the toughest person I know. She has hardly been sick in the 63 years of her life. After the surgery she looked like she was ready to go grocery shopping.(her favorite thing to do at 7 am on saturdays). She looks like she is 53, very young appearance. She had been complaining of headaches, and had been misdiagnosed since January, until Friday night when we took her to the ER and demanded to know what was wrong.
I have been doing lots of research on the internet but I cannot find much on this type of cancer and what treatment center is the best with this type. I will travel to the moon if I have to. MD Anderson sounds good.?? We live in the panhandle of Florida and she is at Baptist Pensacola. Her name is Grace Blockburger. It would mean so much to me if all who reads this can please say a prayer for her and pls put her on as many prayer lists as possible. If one person can beat the odds it would be my mom. She is a fighter. I bought her a card that sings the song......."I will survive". She laughed.
Please respond with ANY messages of treament centers, survival stories and best chemo/radiation, or anything that relates.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS
