Soon after the news of Char's diagnosis, Leonard and Char got in touch with a doctor doing an experimental trial called NovoCure. The trial was happening in California, but luckily since then the trial has been expanded through Swedish Medical Center and Char was accepted as a patient in the NovoCure trial in Seattle.
Today Char starts her treatment and gets to wear an "electricity helmet" that will shoot electricity at her tumor. She is going to Swedish today to start treatment and gets an MRI. Of course, since it is a trial one-in-three people will get a placebo helmet. But still, either way, she is helping advance the treatment of brain cancer and we are so proud of her.
