hi, I don't mind you asking me anything in relation to GBM, as you may have read my daughter has just passed her 7th year of survival with gbm. Her tumour was removed, I say removed in the sense as much as they could remove, she had 2cm tumour left which has also gone, her last MRI Feb. 2013 showed no signs of visible tumour. She received rad. & Chemo. the standard treatment as they call it. I requested that Nicole should get more chemo to totally eradicated the 2cm tumour. After much debate and research etc.I told them she had no9thing to loss and everything to gain. They did agree in the end to give her extra 18 months chemo. Today she is back at work fulltime, saw her son start kindy/primary school and then high school. She is med. free and living a positive life without any speech, weakness etc. problems. I have written a boo about her journey and to inspire others who are travelling the same path as Nicole. this is a non-profit book and available at http://www.lulu.com/shop/femme-hensen/nicoles-journey-survival-with-braincancer/paperback/product-20419977.html;jsessionid=D613741AAD5A05A27594B3E5477A21C4 Feel free to ask me any more questions if need be.
