Hi everyone so I have joined this community as my dad a year ago got diagnosed with terminal glioblastoma multiforme grade 4.

I have depression unfortunately so that doesn't help with the emotions. I just feel very lost and alone with this. My mum and my younger brother are super positive where as I am more realistic some would say pessimistic. I just don't want to fool myself into thinking it's going to be ok.

The hardest thing for me is the what ifs...

And the waiting is so unbearable.

My dad has had surgery chemo radiation and a trail drug but it has still come back and there is no more treatment now.

Can anyone help or understand how I feel losing my dad?

Hello Hannah

I am in a similar situation. My dad is 54 and has terminal glioblastoma grade 4. He has only had radiation as surgery was not an option. I am 30 but have younger siblings. My dad recently finished his radiotherapy treatment so I understand how you feel in terms of there is no more treatment now...it's a strange feeling. I just wanted to say hi as we are in a similar situation if you ever wanted to ask anything.

Hi Polly I'm so sorry I had replied but just saw it hadn't sent 😯 thank you so much for writing to me it's always a small comfort knowing there are (sadly) others who can understand the journey up's and downs. How is your dad coping? And your family. My dad has slowly deteriorated over the last couple weeks so he has to have one of us with him 24/7 now which drives him nuts haha poor dad. I hope your coping ok xx Hannah
