My father was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme in December of 05. He has been an ceramics artist and art teacher for over 40 years, and has been exposed to lead glazes for that entire time. So it appears there could be a link between lead and this disease.

We did a heavy metals test shortly before my bro. in law passed on from a GBM IV tumor. His lead was well above reference range but aluminum, barium,cesium,gadolinium and gallium were off the chart. He was a mechanic and also welded and spray painted quite a bit.His older brother died of the same tumor 5 years earlier and was an airline pilot.

my father has a GBM tumurs and hads urgery 1 month ago. He started radiotherapy with temozolamide 100 ml about 5 days ago,and he should continue about 30 sessions.The medicine is very costly. We cannot afford it. Doctors say that you must have to continue for 30 days. Is there any alternative to Temozolamide? What are the possibilities of my father's living. Plz. tell me.
