Hi, I'm a 29 y/o female. I'm resuming my 2nd cycle of oral chemo (CCNU/Gleostine) this week. I started in Sept. but my counts dropped to an unsafe level. I want to do more besides chemo, but don't know what. I'm getting a functional MRI tomorrow to see if the new mass is able to be safely removed. In 2013/14 (when I was diagnosed): I had 2 craniotomies, 12 months Temodar, and IMRT radiation. In 2020: MRI guided laser ablation this October, CCNU (1 cycle), and an off-label leukemia drug that didn't work. I'm curious about immunotherapy but have heard mixed reviews. Also Keytruda? I'm practicing reiki and reflexology.

FUcansah (great handle!), I hope you got encouraging information from your MRI. I’m a breast cancer survivor, and I’ve never had Kaytruda. I see that you also posted in WhatNext’s brain cancer section. I hope you get some answers. Wishing you all the best.0

FUcansah. I also like your handle. I don't have any experience to offer you with your kind of cancer. I just wanted to let you know that I will be thinking of you and hoping that they can find the mix of drugs needed to help you. Let us know how you are doing. Take care.0

Like the others, wishing you answers and encouragement!0

Thank you @Carool @beachbum5817 @Jayne
Since posting that I got the MRI results, which revealed that if I do need more surgery it would be safe.
So now I'm looking into GammaTile, https://www.gammatile.com/ - has anyone had any experience with this?
Thankful for any responses : )
