Hello everyone, has anyone on here been affected by gioblastoma. My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 in may and was told he probably only had weeks to live. He's home now and I'm his main carer. I just want to know what to expect
Hi Cathy and I am sorry to hear about your husband.

……. support group.
This group is a safe place to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support from family members who are navigating the same support journey.
As for the practical and emotional challenges of supporting your husband and indeed yourself you may benefit from joining and posting in our……
