Jim Glennie (A-1367) had a glioblastoma multiforme, and cryoprotective perfusion achieved the best Glycerol concentration at the time (6.02M glycerol, 1992). A-2091 (name withheld) also had a glioblastoma and reportedly “target cryoprotectant concentration was reached in the brain”.
Thomas Donaldson (A-1097) had an astrocytoma (I guess Astrocytes are a kind of glial cell, but I doubt the comparison can be extended further) and his cryopreservation was very good [p.16].
I am far from an expert and simply would like to hear some authoritative commentary on this

EDIT: I’m not sure if you’re referring to brain damage affecting cryoprotection or brain damage affecting her mental state and making her opt out.

I was mainly worried that she would suffer information-theoretic death (or substantial degradation) before she could be cryopreserved.
