    My twenty year old son has a Germ Cell Brain Tumour and after 16 months on Chemo and Radiotherapy his tumour markers are not responding. The Docs have said that High Dose Chemo is an option but the potential side effects could be devastating given the amount of treatment he has already had. Has anyone experienced this? If so please share your thoughts. What a nightmare! Thanks. CG
