Dennis Kothmann prepares to receive his latest infusion of a medication designed to help his immune system fight brain cancer. The 71-year-old retired math teacher was diagnosed last fall with glioblastoma and opted to help test the experimental treatment rather than undergo chemotherapy.
Dennis Kothmann is asked by his doctor to count down from 100 by sevens, an exercise aimed at measuring his recently diminished memory and concentration. The 71-year-old retired math teacher was diagnosed last year with glioblastoma, the deadliest form of primary brain cancer.
Dennis and Candace Kothmann, married for 26 years, are hoping a new approach to fighting brain cancer can extend or save Dennis’ life. Mr. Kothmann was diagnosed last fall with glioblastoma, the deadliest form of primary brain cancer.
