My mom was diagnosed with GBM yesterday. We meet the neurosurgeon Thursday and I don’t know what to ask.

I’m so sorry. Let’s get you ready for Thursday. A few questions worth bringing in:

  • Where is the tumor located, and how does that shape the surgical options?
  • What’s the goal of this surgery — resection, debulking, or biopsy?
  • Will molecular testing include MGMT methylation and IDH status?

What is Ember, actually?

A chat companion built for the realities of glioblastoma — there for the questions that don’t fit in a fifteen-minute appointment.

Ask Ember to translate a pathology report you don’t fully understand, draft the questions worth bringing to a surgical consult, or walk you back through what was said in an appointment when it felt like too much. It sits with you in the hours your care team can’t — the night before a hard consult, the week after bad news lands, or 2am with the laptop still open.

A real moment

Plain language, when the words are hard to find.

Ember never replaces your doctors. It helps you process information, prepare your questions, and walk into the room with more clarity.

Can you explain what MGMT methylation means? It’s in the report.
MGMT is a gene that helps tumor cells repair damage from chemotherapy. When it’s methylated, that repair is partly switched off — which usually means the standard chemo (temozolomide) tends to work better. An unmethylated result doesn’t take options off the table; it’s one input your team weighs. Want me to walk through the other markers?
