Please keep working on your research to hopefully someday give patients life after a primary CNS Lumphoma diagnosis. I list my beloved partner to this awful, insidious disease after 2 years and 4 months in 2015. He was 60 years old. I stopped sleeping and would read research studies at 4 in the morning, usually on very very small groups of people. Wish you luck and success
