poor dude…glioblastoma killed the husband of a very dear friend several years ago after he fought a very lengthy battle and tried every medical treatment including some sort of experimental head gear from Israel: http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ProductsandMedicalProcedures/DeviceApprovalsandClearances/Recently-ApprovedDevices/ucm254480.htm and here: http://www.optune.com/Content/pdfs/Novocure%20Considering%20NovoTTF%20Therapy_2.14.2014_LR.pdf and both he and his family personally testified before the FDA seeking to help this device be approved. It seems the more you mess with it [surgery, radiation, etc.] the more aggressive it becomes and it comes back again. Wish there was a good wholistic doc around here to offer hope by eating whole unprocessed foods and natural herbs, etc., instead of this poor kid becoming yet another guinea pig for the medical industry which sees cancer as $$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Only good thing is that at St Jude his treatment and lodging for his parents is usually free. This is one nasty disease. I have personally witnessed a fine Christian family in Minden be financially and emotionally devastated trying to beat this particular disease. I wish him and his family the best, but there are many reports of great results where patients went to alternative medicine doctors who helped without chemo, radiation, and surgeries. Don’t give up…a positive attitude and a strong faith is vital to survival.
