: My cousin (30 yrs. old) has been told she has one year to live. She has a
malignantCancer
Gestational trophoblastic disease
Lymphoma, malignant - ct scan
Malignant melanoma
Malignant otitis externa
Melanoma of the eye
Multiple myeloma
Skin cancer, malignant melanoma
brain cancer(not sure yet what type), and surgery did not remove all of
it. If possible, please direct us to centers specializing in brain
tumor treatment, especially in MD area, NY City area, and CA. Any locale
is fine if the center is especially good. If she were your daughter...?
Many thanks for this kind advice!
The specific type of tumor really determines the treatment. I think your
best bet is to contact the American Brain Tumor Association. They can give
you advise and send information regarding centers in your area. Good luck.
