Dr. Issacson's Answer to Reoccurence Posibilities

Well I had to ask Dr. Issacson on one of our weekly visits what the possibility of reoccurence is and what treatments are available for that. He told us that there is a 100% chance of reoccurence at some point and time whether it be 6 months or 6 years or longer. He also told us about 6 different chemotherapy medicines that work very well for reoccurences. The first line of defense for a reoccurence is surgery and then chemo. No more radiation because it isn't good for the body and the chemos work very well. We are in contact with a lady who is in her 12th year of survivorship with no reoccurence which is what we are praying for with Ferrell. I was very relieved to know that there are options though if it were to ever reoccur. I knew going into this after diagnosis that a glioblastoma multiforme is incurable but I also know that it is treatable. So Ferrell and I celebrated our 25th anniversary on June 21st and plan to celebrate our 50th in 25 more years. We went back to see Dr. Lei on July 14th and she released Ferrell back to full duty at work because he has been successfully treated. I am typed out for now so I will be back sometime in the near future.
