hello, my husband has a glyoblastoma lV. he was diagnosed 4.5 years ago - had radiation, chemo 2 surgerys. it came back a 3rd time tiny and stayed put sometimes shrinking, for 3 years. this jan. it moved and grew substantially. we did radiation for 18 days in feb but also started the tears. he is wobbly on his feet. incontinence during sleep, and has hallucinations. - not sure what is due to tumor and what is tears. We will not know the effect on the tumor until his next MRI at the end of May and I will let everyone know then. He is also continuing Avastin via IV once a month. His behavior is scary to me but if in the end the tumor is gone it will be worth it. The only problem that I have is being able to pay for it. I will run out by the end of April and cannot afford more and I do not live in a State where it is legal so it is also very very hard to get. hopefully the 2 months worth will have helped. time will tell
