They are doing a trial where they injected the herpes virus into the tumor in the hopes of weakening the tumor and the chemo will work better. Do u have any advise to give me. Should I be taking him somewhere else. We are willing to do whatever it takes, he is such an inspiration to my daughtes and myself. He never complains. What type of treatment did u receive.

This is Ashley, my mom was diagnosed ...Hey Scott,<br /> This is Ashley, my mom was diagnosed with Glioblastoma in Dec. of 2008, just a week after I had twin baby girls, her first grand-babies.She went through surgery, chemotherapy, and radition. Everything looked great until Jan. of 2010, they said her tumor was growing back plus two more spots!!!They have her on something new called Avastin, we're not for sure if it is working or not until she has another MRI in Feb.Hopefully she will be like you and live longer than the doctors say!! She has to be around to watch my babies grow up.She has to spoil them, that's what grandmothers do!!!Keep fighting and hold your head high and don't let anyone tell you other wise!!! God Bless!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689735678964373295.post-81246404971840213402009-04-27T10:22:00.000-07:002009-04-27T10:22:00.000-07:00I am very glad you chose to fight.

Your comments at the end are spot on, there is no other option, we have to keep fighting. Thank you for sharing your story! It is nice to read about other survivors like me!

He survived 3 surgeries and almost 4 years, but finally lost his fight in August 1999. <br /><br />PLEASE keep telling your story. So many others do not know they have hope, and they can fight. <br /><br />Too often the medical community thinks a Glioblastoma diagnosis is a death sentence. And they act accordingly. My brother made it as long as he did because of his will to fight, not because of any medical advancements.<br /><br />You and Meaghan are hero's. You give others hope that they can fight back. Those of us looking in from the outside can never know your pain.<br /><br />But, having held my brother as he took his last breath, I know what losing a loved one feels like. Nobody should ever feel either pain.<br /><br />Live. laugh, love and above all, be happy!jjhanzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032990105119627774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689735678964373295.post-39320944978757982622009-04-23T19:19:00.000-07:002009-04-23T19:19:00.000-07:00Hey Scott this is Bryan(aka Meaghan's boyfriend). ...Hey Scott this is Bryan(aka Meaghan's boyfriend).
