YOUR DOCTOR HAS SAID THAT YOU HAVE A TYPE OF CANCER CALLED RECURRENT GLIOBLASTOMA (rGBM)
Glioblastoma is a cancer of the brain and spinal cord.2
Unlike cancers that start in other parts of the body, tumors that start in the brain or spinal cord rarely spread to other organs, but they can still grow and spread into nearby areas of the brain.2
ACCORDING TO THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO), THERE ARE 4 GRADES OF BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD TUMORS:2
Tumors that typically grow slowly and do not infiltrate other nearby tissues. Can often be cured with surgery.
Tumors that tend to grow slowly but can grow into nearby brain tissue. May eventually start growing faster and are likely to return after surgery.
Tumors have a more abnormal appearance when viewed under a microscope. Can grow into nearby brain tissue and may need treatment in addition to surgery.
The fastest growing tumors that usually require the most aggressive treatment.
YOUR TREATMENT TEAM IS THERE TO HELP
Because glioblastoma can impact you and your loved ones' lives, it is important to work closely with your treatment team. If you have questions, reach out to your doctor’s office directly for more information.
