Hello I'm new on here, this is all so overwhelming right now. My mother in law was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma on Thursday. Monday she was told she has 4 to 6 months maximum to live. We're all so lost, don't know where to turn. We feel like cats...
Has any one had gamma knife radiation treatment for grade 4 glioblastoma?
Been a while my brain tumour has been rescanned and the doctors took a bit from by brain. They tell it’s rare form and they explain it’s like a load of dots of the cancer all over by brain. At the moment it’s inactive but they say it will come back, but...

Has anyone had radiotherapy to the head and not lost any hair? I’m three weeks in and so far my hairs just sore? But then I worry is the radiotherapy working if I’m not getting strong side effects?
I'm sorry any of us have to be here, I lost my wife just before Christmas to lung cancer, possibly thru the process of grieving, I have not been listening to my own body trying to warn me of my own health, I have just had a brain tumour diagnosis, (this...
