Facing a Devastating Diagnosis
After receiving a diagnosis of inoperable anaplastic astrocytoma, Mrs. Fenton was told that her prognosis was grim. Without treatment, she had an estimated six months to live, and with chemotherapy and radiation, she might extend her life to five years. Desperate for another option, Mrs. Fenton learned about alternative therapy with sodium phenylbutyrate analogues offered at Dr. Burzynski’s clinic in Texas. Determined to pursue this path, she travelled to Texas to begin treatment.
“I was told by the doctors in Los Angeles I would have 6 to 18 months to live if I did no treatment, maybe 5 years if I did chemo, radiation.”
