About Karen Brawner Expertise I will answer your questions regarding cancerous brain tumors and benign train tumors. I will help your with the research of your condition so that you can help yourself in making a quality decision about your treatment.
Experience My husband had metastasis from malignant melanoma to the brain (3 tumors) and a friend of mine suffers from a benign brain tumor which she refuses to have surgery on. I can only make suggestions as to what you need to talk to your doctor about.
My husband also was diagnosed with grade 4 GBM. Surgery removed 75%. This is a difficult time, but you must have hope. Even our oncology DR. said that people with faith, regardless of the outcome seem to do better. We continue to ask God to heal, for a miracle. Its is not easy. I also know. We haven't encountered all the symptoms and reactions you mentioned, but memory loss which is very difficult. We are also trying supplements and a modified Johanna Budwig cottage cheese diet. This will also keep weight on him. He needs to be supported and encouraged. If your dad chooses not to continue radiation, suggest a healthy diet change. Maybe he will consider this. I wish for your the best. My prayers will be with you.
