Metabolic treatment - glioblastoma

Hello everyone,

My mother has been diagnosed with glioblastoma in December and she is currently doing the golden treatment, i.e. surgery followed by radiation with chemo.

I have visited a clinic called Care Oncology Clinic who offers a complementary treatment to the golden to enhance the effects of the temodal with four very known over the counter medicines (metformid, statins, anti parasite and antibiotic).

The use of such medicines made much sense to me, but my mother is reluctant to start it, as she has not heard of such thing before.

Hence I write this post to ask whether anyone of you have heard about this treatment/clinic or even has done or know who has done to share their achievements such that I can share with her and give her more confidence in this treatment.

many thanks!

Bruno 

  • Hello Bruno,

    I am one of the enquiry nurses. Our moderator Lucie asked us to read your post in case we could tell you anything.

    Metformin, statins, antibiotics and antiparasitic drugs are well known prescription only medicines, but in combination, they aren’t usually used alongside current standard cancer treatment. 

    Probably the best thing for your mum to do would be to talk things over carefully with her current specialist and get some advice from them before deciding what to do.  

    I hope your mum's treatment goes well.

    Take care,

    Julia
