Having a glioma myself (though way less severe than his type), this is exciting news. Brain tumors are often written off as "well, you're done for" and not much progress has been made on the treatment front. Though, the type I have was only discovered in the last 20 years and was lumped (heh) in with others before. Genetic sequencing and gene therapy, wow.

- baggachipz 2y agoThat is very interesting. I'm going to ask my oncologist's opinion about this and see what she says. I'm almost done with my radiation and chemo regimen (approaching 10 months... bleh), so if eating bacon-wrapped hot dogs keeps me out of the next treatment for longer, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make :)
- abecedarius 2y agoBest of luck! FWIW I've had thyroid cancer (surgery only; it's usually a nicer class of cancer to get if one must have one). Been eating higher-fat moderate-protein carnivore since.
