Hi, I’m new to this site and have never posted anything before. I’ve been looking at the site for a few months and thought I would join to see if there’s anyone out there in the same position as me. My husband was diagnosed with a gbm brain tumour in jan 2020. I’m 34 and we have 2 children. My husband is 47. I’m heartbroken and finding things so hard. Is there anyone else out there in the same position as me. So scared what’s going to happen as it gets worse. His had chemo and radio and now we’re just waiting for the next step which is more chemo for 6 months.
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your husbands diagnosis - this must have been a big shock to you.
A cancer diagnosis can bring a lot of stress, confusion and many questions but talking with people who are on the same journey can help a lot and I can see that have joined our very supportive Glioblastoma multiforme group.

Follow the link I've created then introduce yourself to the group and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and you can also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
You may also find our Carers only, and Family and friends groups a benefit as you will connect with others supporting family through their cancer journey.
