Hi effiya....so your FSR didn't work and now you are looking at GK?

Yes, Phyll. I think my FSR failed. The tumor cells should have been dead and tumor shrunk by now. Even though they claim that the tumor is not growing, it is pressing on my brainstem and causing me all kinds of problems. It is too big.
