Hi I am enquiring on behalf of my cousin who has a stage 4 brain tumour and is wondering if anyone in a similar situation has had success with Proton Therapy ? Any help or information would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Hi Alphascan
welcome to the group. Sorry to hear about your cousin's diagnosis.
I am supporting my husband through his stage 4 brain tumour journey (GBM4) but proton therapy isn't something that has been mentioned to us.
This group is very supportive so I'm pretty confident one of the other members will be able to offer some words of wisdom. It might be worth giving MacMillan Support Services a call.
Macmillan Support Services also offer lots of information, support, financial guidance or just someone to listen. It’s free to call 0808 808 0000. Most services are available 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. Have a look by Clicking here to see what is available and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two to three working days for replies from our expert team.
sending healing love and light to you and your cousin,. Stay positive. Stay strong.
love n hugs

Hi Thanks for your kind words and prompt reply. I have already spoken with McMillan and they suggested joining a forum to find out if any members had any success with Proton Therapy. Obviously what is read on Google isn't always accurate hence trying to find anyone who has benefited from this treatment. Fingers crossed that we maybe get some positive feedback.
I hope your Husband and you keep strong and keep fighting
Very best regards
Mervyn
