Brain Tumor - Gliblastoma
Hello Sir,
My Father was diagnosed with Brain tumor in April 2016 and was operated in June 2016. He had Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy (oral- Temodar) and has completed 5 cycles of Temodar again and is due for 6th cycle. Post 4th chemo cycle, his left portion of body is not working. His latest MRI shows residual tumor and edema. He is currently on dexa- 6mg three times and levipill 1g two times a day. Can you please throw some light on his weakness, whether he will be able to walk properly and though the tumor has not grown since surgery, is that a good sign. Please help

First of all biopsy of tumor is important...you must highlight ...secondly magnetic resonance spectroscopy needs to be done to evaluate whether it is tumor residual ,recurrence or radiation necrosis
