Glioblastoma: All this must be difficult for you as well. The course of action will depend on the extent of disease, response/tolerance to current treatment provided and general health of patient. Your doctor will know from testing, which medication or if radiation will help. FSRT is offered to some patients. There is not much data to prove effectiveness of herbals in such cases.
