Support Groups
Close Brain / CNS Tumors
Type: OtherMy cousin was diagnosed in 2004, he has gone thru a couple of clinical trials and now is going to have to change all over again. The tumors seem to keep showing up on the mri. We have always been very close, and even though it is not me it is still one of the scariest things to deal with.He has reached the max of radiation and the tumors are inoperable. I regret that after a 3 yr fight my cousin has lost the battle against brain cancer. But he did fight hard, and he is pain free now.
Treatments
- Radiotherapy Not Working
- It did aid for a period in shrinking, but that time has ended
- Surgery Not Working
- Had sx but not a cure.
- Tarceva Working / Worked
- this treatment he has just started so the outcome is unknown
Close Bipolar Disorder
My dad has been BP for as long as I can remember. He has also been an alcoholic for as long as I can remember.I understand the super highs and super lows that come with being bi polar. Sometimes I have no trouble at all with him and then when its bad its unexplainable. But I have learned how to deal, not always easy and it takes its toll on me.
Treatments
- Depakote Somewhat Helpful
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- Group Therapy Working / Worked
- Haldol Working / Worked
- Only when uncontrolable
- Lamictal Working / Worked
