My younger brother (36yo) has GBM grade IV since March 2006. He had the surgery, chemo, radiation in April 2006 and 2 months ago Gamma Knife treatment. At Gamma treatment the tumors returned to 4.5cm and 2 cm, with little growth since gamma treatment.(?) He is starting to require constant supervision due to seizures and overall motor skill degression. His ability to speak and put thoughts together has gotten worse.
I am his medical executor, and need to prepare my parents for the inevitable.
PLEASE provide some ideas as to what my brother could experience next. All text read does not state if "pain and suffering" is part of the process. Is a SECOND surgery worth the agony? What about quality of life? How late is too late to make a decison on the second surgery?

Thank you,
BIG DADDY
and also a BIG BROTHER..

I have a palpable mass in my left breast (9 o' clock). The mammogram & sonomammogram indicate the following: "...a 2.5x1.1x2.3 cm hypoechoic, smooth bordered parallel mass. It does contain a single cystic component." No one is sure what it is, but It may be a Phyllodes tumor or a fibroadenoma. The surgeon refered me for a Sonoguided Breast Biopsy (Core, FNA). Should I postpone the biopsy to do a breast MRI before? Does it help the doctor have a better view of the mass? Or should I just go ahead with the biopsy? I already performed basic labwork (CBC, CMP, PT, PTT) and I'm fine, but are there specific labwork that I should request?

I know that these are questions for my doctor, but after my visit I've been on the internet and have read a lot of diiferent info and it's kind of confusing at this moment.

History of cancer in family: none
Age: 30 - 33
Hormones: never taken any
