Update: methadone

Hi,
my dad has just had his fourth MRI since being on methadone and it was very positive again. This time the tumor is stable but as the three MRIs before this one showed shrinkage, his tumor is now smaller than it was in the beginning. The latest MRI also showed that the edeme is decreasing in size. So we're happy :)
My dad was diagnosed in December 2015 with an inoperable glioblastoma (corpus callosum) and all doctors (neurosurgeon, oncologist, GP) are very pleased with the results. He's not using methadone alone but we've notived an improvement since he started taking it. He also takes Temodar, some other supplements and uses Optune TTF. So it might be the combination that helps him. I'll keep you updated on our experiences with methadone!
