Glioblastoma MF4 Inoperable Brain path device?

JamesTwo

Hi, 

I've been searching feverishly for any hope at all for my wife who's been diagnosed with Glioblastoma MF 4 inoperable tumour. I've come across something about a brain path device, which apparently makes inoperable tumours more operable. I'm just wondering if anyone has had a second opinion on an inoperable tumour, who then subsequently had it removed with this device elsewhere? Hoping beyond hope that there's something we can hang on to. I'm going on the assumption that if they can't remove any of the tumour, then life expectancy is significantly reduced, compared to those who can have it removed... Any help greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

James

  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat community James although I'm very sorry to read about your wife's diagnosis.

    I can't begin to imagine what you're going through at the moment but I'm glad to see you've found support from some of our members already.

    Unfortunately I couldn't find any discussions on the forum about a brain path device but you're very welcome to ask our team of cancer nurses about this in their section of the forum just here.

    Do be sure to discuss this with your wife's medical team as well but in the meantime you may be able to get more information and advice from Brain Tumour Ireland and the Irish Cancer Society.

    Kind regards,
