19 yr old with GBM, any advice for next step warmly welcomed x
Hello everyone, I've learned so much from this site already but now I have some more detailed information I'm wondering if anyone can help me with some specific advice (I apologise for the long post now)My 19 year old daughter was in her first tern at Uni when she was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme in October, She had a craniotomy early November and most of the biggest tumour was removed. She then had the standard 6 weeks of radiotherapy (18 full brain, 12 targeted) with Temozolomide. She's had a month off and just had her first double dose 5/23 chemo (and she's been horribly sick with it and has zero appetite)
We were hoping to go down the DCVax route but it looks as though there might not be enough frozen tumour material to make a full vaccine (and we're gutted)
We had an Oncologica biomarker report and it looks like her mutations are ATM, TSC1 and TP53, her PD-L1 tumour proportion score is 90-95%, PD-L1 positive ICs 1% of tumour area (which I'm told suggests she'd be a good candidate for immunotherapy)
In terms of what Laura's currently taking, she's takes FECO 3 times a day, Keppra, Chloroquine and she's also on the Care Oncology protocol (Metformin, Atorvastatin and Vermox)
Supplement wise she also takes;
Boswellia
Berberine
Bromelain
Longvidia Curcumin
Milk thistle
Melatonin
Artemisia
Vitamin A D K
Resveratrol
Grapeseed
So the reason for the post is to ask if any of you wise people have any suggestions as to where we could look next? I think we might struggle with dendritic cell therapy due to the small sample size but is it possible to get hold of immunotherapy drugs or is that only an option if you're on a trial?
Laura was just getting started in her life and I'll do whatever I can to give her the best possible change of a happy life.
Thanks very much for reading and best wishes to you all
