Your numbers are correct. This disease is aggressive in nature and prognosis is poor.
From the details you provided, it seems you are on right tract. However, detailed history of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy are required to comment on your question.
For MGMT, you can not do much about it without the tissue.
