Susan L. Mcgovern, MD, PhD

She gave my mom too much radiation. According to our medical oncologist, MGMT methylated patients are prone to radiation necrosis and should be given less. My mom’s necrosis has progressed to the point that she is severely disabled. The GBM hasn’t recurred, but she will likely die from Dr. McGovern’s care.

If you are battling a life-threatening brain cancer, this is the woman you want in your corner. We believe her analysis of the cancer and her radiation plan to be one of pivotal reasons my husband is a 5-year+ long term GBM survivor. The medical professionals at MD Anderson form a close-knit group who work together to solve the unique challenges presented by glioblastoma. No two glioma tumors are alike--it's a smart and crafty cancer that is always thinking of ways to come back. If you have Dr. McGovern on your team, count your lucky stars. We were very lucky she was there to help us.

She seemed very detached. she did not followup with appointments as I requested.
