Glioblastoma and Parkinson's; hereditary?
My mom was diagnosed with gliblastoma (brain cancer) in 2000. I was diagnosed with PD in 2015, If I understand it correctly, the folloing article indicates both conditions apparently can involve the same set of genes. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7468383/ I am wondering if I might

Selegiline - Noticeably improved symptoms
My new neurologist started me on Selegiline 10 mg/day. In two weeks I reduced my Sinemet from two pills per day to one. My tremor is much calmer and I feel more clear. So far no negative side effects and I take the first 5 mg on an empty stomach.

But I have also taken them at 11pm ish and not noticed any difference. I asked a gp if I should still take

High-intensity Exercise Can Reverse Neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s Disease
In fact, after six months of exercise, the neurons actually had grown healthier and produced stronger dopamine signals. Dopamine is a chemical that helps brain cells communicate with each other. The researchers published their findings in npj Parkinson’s Disease on February 9. https://medicine.yale.edu

Selegeline/RBD?
It's often said that all of the treatments currently in use for Parkinson's offer symptomatic relief only, and do not affect underlying pathology. However, a recent study suggests selegeline use impacts white matter microstructure and could be neuroprotective. I know white matter abnormalities have been

Researchers Develop "Two-Headed" Drug to treat Parkinson's Disease
Although the following research is in its infancy, it has merit and looks promising. In particular that they want to try and make it a oral bio-active medicine. Researchers have created a ‘two-headed’ drug that prevents the production of the toxic protein linked to Parkinson’s disease before destroying
