[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The chemo doesn't work, that's probably why.  Not much has changed in treating GBM in the last 15 yrs.  a lot of trials that don't do more than the standard crappy treatments.  You don't know how operable and location of the tumor(s).  If you've never seen what GBM does to someone, you have no idea what happens to the patient.  Your brain controls EVERYTHING so anything foreign up there causes issues.  Gbm cells double every 2 weeks and there's millions of cells that create a tumor.  It truly is a death sentence.  [/quote]

This is true. And the course of the illness is truly wretched - her quality of life for the 18 months or so she would've lived with it, even with treatment, would be very difficult.

This is the disease that the woman who fought for the right to end one's own life had - she moved out west so she could legally end her life instead of suffering through her remaining months with GBS.

It's such an awful disease - there needs to be more research and funding to find a cure, or an effective treatment. [/quote]
