Can you give me more info about this disease? Where can i find information? does it have a cure ? Thank you , Sylvie
I'm strictly a tumor dr. here since I'm not a neurologist or a neurosurgeon but a medical oncologist & radiation therapist with experience of treating brain tumors. So your question is completely outside my area of expertise here. I therefore strongly suggest that you discuss this case with a neurologist.
