Re: Brain Cancer

Hi My name is Femme and the mother of Nicole who was diagnosed with an GBM in Jan.2006(aged 34 then) She is doing great after being told after initial diagnosis her prognosis was very grim, 3/9 months they said. She has proved them wrong as to date she is doing so well, she had the surgery, rad. & chemo so I say to you all ....dont ever give up hope. If you want to read Nicole's story go to http://www.btsurvivor.com/bb/viewforum.php?f=7 and look for Nicole Cheers

Hi Cathy, I couln't agree with you more, your positive outlook, like my daughter will see you get to 60 and beyond. Our daughter was diagnosed in Jan.2006 with a GBM and to date she is doing great. Cheers and never give up hope.

Re: Brain Cancer

Hi rarsie, our daughter had the standard treatment of surgery, rad. & chemo (temodal) I requested after the standard treatment that she would have another 12 months, which after much debate she got....I had done so much research into GBM which all said longer treatment....I told them she had nothing to lose and was not going to take no for an answer, they were dealing wityh my child (although she was 34) here and not some number on their list. Anyway to date she is doing great and has just watched her son start high school like she said she would. SO neve rgive up hope.She still has 6 monthly MRI which to date show no visible signs of tumour. Cheers Femme
