An excerpt on gliomas with illustration. Jeff and Marilyn Altbush have created a remarkable site about their daughter Faith who also suffered from a diffuse pontine glioma. Brain Stem Glioma - Everything you didn't want to know but should by Jim Kenzig. Jim Kenzig also maintains pages of links to sites about brain tumours and brainstem gliomas in particular. Here's another page of links to brain tumour sites. OzBrainTumour's draft of The Australian Brain Tumour Guide has a good section on the benefits and side-effects of Dexamethasone (known as Decadron in the US). |

There's a lot of sites talking about B17 and laetrile, almost all of them selling some form of snake oil. In particular, read "The Rise and Fall of Laetrile" story. |
