    Time has passed since the original post, and luckily there are now counterexamples to the first sentence, me among them.  I was diagnosed with GBM and had it surgically removed in November 2009, and subsequently received my full radiation dose of 60 Gy at the same time as I was given Temodal.  The Temodal treatment lasted for about 7 months.  I have survived more than three years now, and intend to stay alive for several more years, God willing.  My hospital (Haukeland University Hospital in Bergen, Norway) takes new control NMR images every three months, as long as I'm alive Smile  
    I'm writing a blog (in Norwegian) at http://rapporterfrasteinarild.blogspot.com with the full story, although these days the blog is only updated after each control scan.

    My deepest sympathy to those less fortunate than myself, and to the people close to them.
