I like a happy ending!. after 2 stage 4 GBM's within 12 months, my life was saved by my neuro surgeon inserting Gliadel Wafers during removal of the second GBM. I have now had 6 annual clear scans and am almost back to where I was before GBM!!! I am still working out in the gym to get my physical strength back after treatment with cortisone.

My mom had a slight seizure for the first time in her 77 years of life and went to the hospital where they found two brain tumors and then lung cancer (NSCLC) it’s also in her lymphatic system.

She’s starting Radiation Therapy for her brain lesions and chemotherapy two weeks after for her lung cancer.
She’s not doing well due to having severe copd and unfortunately she has Kaiser insurance that’s delayed treatment for 3 months (89 days since diagnosis, but who’s counting?)
I’m praying she can endure the treatments.
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. This is a great resource for people looking for information on this topic. It’s overwhelming.

I was diagnosed with oma cancer stage 4 11 months ago and after my chemo and radiation treatments I now have severe brain damage the mri’s showed. The doctor who performed the operation told me I have 15 to 17 months to live. But I’m going to turn it into 15 or 17 years. My wife has been very very concerned and has made me her primary concern . I am also or we are raising my grandson so I really don’t want to leave them because they need me. I had to retire after 44 years and 4 months and miss working very much.y

Thank you Dr. Yang👋🙏🙌. This information helped us understand what we are facing. Very clear well rounded information that we desperately needed prior to surgery.

My father died of brain cancer last week. Herman Memorial performed the brain surgery to remove the tumor which was later diagnosed a stage 4 cancer. My father was 83 at the time of surgery. I feel so sad for my father because he had to endure a lot of pain from deep incision in the skull. He was never given radiation and chemotherapy. He was sent home. Doctors said that they were unable to treat my father. Had I known about UCLA laser treatment options I would have transferred my father to U CLA. I believe that we were not given options before the surgery.

An awesome doctor. Explained the whole process in a way that an uneducated person can easily understand. Great job.

My mom has leptomeningeal carcinomatosis and it hurts so much, she has lived with metastasised breast cancer 7 years now, against all odds. But it seems to be going so fast now. It's hard to cope. She's only 58 and I cannot imagine life without her.

Excellent presentation. Very, very reassuring.
