    HELLO,  I'm sorry to hear about your visual problems.  It hits home as I have the same problem looking to the left in both eyes (thankfully I csn see straight and to right)  I spoke with a friend of a friend who visited a neuro-ophalmologist who recommended prism glasses for what we have = HOMonymous hemianopsia.  This worked for her.

        The most promising trial I have heard of is the dcvax immunotherapyerapy vaccine. It is run by Lina Liau as chief investigator at ucla but other hospitals are now using it. It is a phase three trial. There are 2 catches though: 1. They need fresh tissue at hospital performing trial to create vaccine. This means another surgery. For many people another surgery is not warranted at this time. For some reason frozen ...

            Duke says I should start this asap.  This is an avastin based trial with me taking avastin.  Does anyone have any thoughts?  Thanks for your time and thoughts!

              I've read promising things about this drug and understand they are now phase 2 in clinal trials. Has anyone heard anything about this?

                  Has anyone had 2 surgeries in 1 year? Doctors predict that 2nd surgery won't harm me but advice aside, I am ver scared. Has anyone had 2 surgeries? Thanks for you time

                    Ok I spoke to MD Anderson and jacksonville and I would have to bankrupt my family to do proton therapy.  Additionally 2 centers tell me it won't help.   Anyone have experience with Gamma Knife which seems like a better option from what I've read.  Can Gamma Knife treat every type of tumor or are there some it won't help?  Thanks
