My name is Signe Brunner. I was diagnosed with a Oligodendroglioma brain tumor at the age of 41 in 1995. Initially it was recommended that I either be treated with radiation or chemotherapy. In a state of shock it is difficult to make decisions. And yet, there was one doctor who told my husband and me about Dr. Neuwelt and the BBBD program at OHSU. The information led to our meeting Dr. Neuwelt and progressing onto going through the BBBD treatment.
It is now 2008, I am still doing very well. I work as a counselor in private practice, have spent some years in remission, but the fact of the matter is that I have been stable, cognitively able to be focused and thanks to Dr. Neuwelt and his medical team, and to God I am living well.
