University of California Los Angeles Brain Tumor Conference May 18-19 2018

Hello everyone!

Is anyone (patient and/or caregiver/family member) going to the University of California Los Angeles Brain Tumor conference on May 18th and 19th, 2018?  My wife and I have just registered for the conference and we would love to meet up with anyone else that will be attending the conference.

Seattle Science Foundation Lecture Link Available

Hi -

Finally got the link to the lecture from the event at the Seattle Science Foundation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEWU6TDoR9Y&list=PLyptnEaqO5i5pTEYxgouH61Twgp3I5vMt&index=1

Dr. Soderberg's presentation was not published per her request.  Apparently it's unpublished data.  To summarize what I got from it, 100% of GBM tumors test positive for CMV.  In Sweden 150 +/- GBM patients were given valcyte.  30 were recurrent, the rest newly diagnosed.  All saw benefit.  It's cheapest (for the US anyway) at Mark's Marine Pharmacy in CA (generic is $800 per month).


Thanks.
Annie
