It is a shame - if they had not waited, she likely would have had a better outcome. When the optic nerve is compressed, it sometimes does not come back.
Often the larger university hospitals, cancer hospitals and state hospitals have charity programs. She should start there. There are mercy flights to get to places - she can get a LOT of help and low or no cost.
hello, thank you for taking time to answer me. the time they learned about the tumor, they were in shock and nobody wanted the patient to undergo surgery for two reasons: 1. they find it risky for her, 2. unavailability of resources/funds.
I just recently learned about her situation, so I'm trying to find ways to help. It's been a year, the family and the patient are now (let me say) ready to have her on surgical operation, just that they don't have enough funds. I wish to find a foundation or group, if there are any with big hearts to help her.
Thank you so much.
This is a patient forum - so as a layman, I cannot give you any definitive information on the report. Any information I give you is pure guess.
In general, to my knowledge, the drugs to reduce a mass like that would be along the lines of chemotherapy. She *probably* has lost vision and hearing due to the mass effect and the location of the tumor - and so why have they not taken action to remove or radiate the tumor?
What do you mean by *no source*?
