My father (53 M) has a Glioblastoma at the junction of the posterior body and splenium of corpus callosum. He had a biopsy at Brown university in Rhode Island. Does anyone know a neurosurgeon who can safely perform a resection as the surgeons at brown as well as Sloan Kettering who we consulted with state that it is risky. We are hoping to find a neurosurgeon who can perform it without any complications.
Hi KR81
a warm welcome to the group. So sorry to hear about your dad's diagnosis.
A lot of the members of this community are based in the UK, myself included, so unfortunately can't comment on neurosurgeons local to you.
I did join a Facebook support group during my husband's GBM journey that were largely USA based so perhaps that may be another route to also explore here. If you are a Facebook user search Glioblastoma and the groups will come up. Most of them are private and you need to approach the admin to join but they offer a wealth of worldwide support.
