I have a grade 4 Glioblastoma on my brain. It’s been my life for only 6 weeks,but seems a lifetime! Anyway,a good lump of the problem was removed from my brain,and Monday Ivsee the specialist and I’ll be on 6 weeks radiotherapy,and Ivwas told ,constant daily chemotherapy.It appears that this will not go away,and the aim is to slow the cancer down. Fair enough. It is what it is. Right now I am on one dose of steroid and two doses of anti convulsant tabs,daily. I feel relatively well. 

my worry? Not the cancer as such . It’s the after effects of my upcoming treatments that concern me. Potential sickness,tiredness etc. I like my food,and it bothers me I may not. Does that make sense? Does anyone have experience and / or advice please? Thank you for reading. 

  • Glad that things are starting to take place, take things how and when they may come.

    One day at a time, rest when needed, listen to your body, it lets us know, when to take things easily, xx

  • Hi Mumf, I'm glad you appointment went well, and there's a treatment path for you, that bit about memory loss well you will have to join my club my meds cause it, but really memory loss in nothing compared to the alternative.

    I really like good news long may you provide it for me, party on.Innocent

  • HI Mumf (that sounds funny) Good luck on Thursday and I'm sure once you start on your list of appointments, you will get into a routine that suits. It is hard when you look at a list of appointments for bloods, scans, treatment, results etc but it is better to take it one day at a time. You are stronger than you think! Please keep us posted! Good luck.

    Love Annette x

  • Good morning Mumf, so glad you've got your treatment plan. Once it starts you'll soon get into a routine and it will become your normal. Stay one day at a time. Sending good vibes xx

  • Reading here,and the meeting with the specialist,I understand the ‘routine’ way of things. As you say,one day at a time . Thanks. Xx
