Greetings! Today I created a petition on change.org. I have realized that not enough money gets put into brain tumor research. After a bit of digging, I found that many brain tumor foundations only put 15-20% of the millions of dollars they raise into actual research.

Today, Daphne from coolmomdotcom tweeted about Get Through it Together:http://twitter.com/coolmomdotcom/status/250325081203544065

If you're into awesome blogs, go read what she posts. 

I'd like to thank Daphne again for supporting Get Through it Together!!!

Who is up for a little walking? The National Brain Tumor Society, who has kindly allowed me to use their Brain Tumor Types pages, is holding a walk for brain tumor research in Los Angeles on October 28. 

Studies done recently at University of Southern California have shown that short-term fasting actually makes brain tumor cells more vulnerable to chemotherapy and also protects the healthy cells from being destroyed during the treatment.

An experiment done at Cedars-Sinai proved to double the median survival period of patients with malignant brain tumors. The median survival time in Phase I is 14.6 months. This experiment increased that time to 38.4 months. That is almost three times the amount.

A*STAR scientists, based out of Singapore, have discovered a indicator, called a biomarker, for the glioblastoma multiforme. It is one of the most lethal brain cancers found in adults. Targeting this biomarker and attacking it with a possible drug made it known that scientists could be able to predict the relapse of the brain and prevent its progression.
