Glioblastoma community hub
People who are living with a Glioblastoma (GBM), at the point of diagnosis or at recurrence, tell us that hours are being spent searching for Glioblastoma treatments that sit outside the current NHS standard protocol. The current NHS standard protocol for treating a GBM can be found below.

Dedicated resources for people living with a Glioblastoma (GBM)
At brainstrust we’re here to help you live life with a brain tumour. We know that there is a huge source of knowledge within the brain tumour community about novel treatments that would benefit people who are living with a GBM. These are novel clinical treatments that might make a difference, they may not be mainstream but there is some evidence of efficacy. We’d rather this information was in one place, to save you spending duplicative time looking for potential treatments, when maybe you’d rather be taking a walk in the sun, or planning your next break, or spending time with your family and friends.
The information here has come from the community and is for the community. We are not recommending these treatments, just signposting and sharing what information there is so that you can begin to have further conversations. Only you know what your appetite for risk is, what your context is and what your values are. This information will be updated regularly.
Current, novel Glioblastoma (GBM) treatments and trials
Here you can read about current trials and novel treatments and therapies. This has been compiled to save you time researching, and has been developed with the GBM community.
Glioblastoma (GBM) support, information and events

Your help has been monumental to me in working through my thoughts and understanding of the disease. You have helped me gain a perspective on what has happened and to look at things in a new light. Thank you so very much for all your time and kindness.
Thank you for all your help, you were there when I was at my wits end and both the website and the box gave me the means to take back some control
Once again I can not tell you how reassured you made me feel yesterday. It was so important that I spoke to someone and you were there which I really appreciated
If it wasn't for brainstrust supporting me through my experience, I don't know where I would be right now

Received the brain box yesterday. I cried with happiness. It's just what we needed - the booklets, information, tea and even hand cream. You have restored our faith in human nature
