Hi ... Do you know any brain cancer survivors ?

One of my best friends has been diagnosed with brain cancer 3 days ago ..

I don't if this is the same thing, but I have a work colleague whose mother in law has survived to date and far longer than expected due to immunotherapy. They do a genetic test to see if your DNA is a good match for drugs that boost your immune system to attack the tumors.Not necessarily a cure, but definitely extended her life so far.

Sadly, no. The issue with brain cancer, I have found from family friends who have had it, that radiotherapy can help, for a time, as can de-bulking (surgery) but that it comes back quickly.

Actually yes. I kid from my 4th grade class. He had several surgeries. He didn't come back to school for a couple years, then he moved away. He is still living as far as I know.

That depends on the grade of tumor. I have brain tumor but that is not cancerous.

Have they did biopsy to get the grade of tumor? What's the grade?

No...it seems to be very aggressive.
