When diagnosed with a brain tumor there is only so much you can do. You have your different types of treatment, but you also have vaccines.
These vaccines do not work like flu vaccines. They do not prevent you from having a brain tumor. But they do help target the cancer cells and use your own body cells to attack the cancer cells.

There is a video I watched called Vaccine Offers Hope for Cancer Patients on CNN. It tells the story of a woman diagnosed with a glioblastoma who is using these types of vaccines.
These vaccines are going to target the brain tumor cells and work on destroying them. Vaccines boost your immune system to better help attack the cancer cells.
In this case, the vaccine was given to her by Dr. Keith Black at Cedars-Sinai. The funny thing about this is my father actually went to Dr. Black when my sister first had her brain tumor, back in 1993. I am currently trying to get a hold of him to do an interview. I hope I will be able to do that soon and be able to share it with you all.
Please take a look at the video. It's only five minutes long but is very informative.
