Mother in law

Hello

sorry to hear this. Nobody including doctors can give you an exact prognosis but its not likely to be good news. I was quoted around 6 months with no treatment. 
take care. 

HI Lolapuppy1

a warm welcome to the online community. So sorry to hear about your mother-in-law.

The best people to discuss timescales with are her doctors and they may be reluctant to commit to anything. We were given several timescales during my late husband's journey and all of them proved to be inaccurate. Published timescales are based on averages and best guesstimates. No one is average. Every one is unique. Sorry if this isn't the answer you were hoping for. 

This is a safe and supportive space so please reach out here anytime. There's always someone around to listen who gets it, someone to hold your hand and to offer a virtual hug when its needed. You're not alone. We've got you.

It’s always good to talk so please remember that you can also call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service provides lots of cancer information, emotional support, benefit and financial guidance or just a listening ear.

For now I'm sending you a huge virtual hug and lots of positive energy.

Love n hugs

Sorry to hear about your journey. Apparently I couldn’t speak or walk went it first hit me. Was in hospital for three months, I like you have loss of memory. I can’t remember anything about how it started or stayed in hospital. I’ve just gone three years past their prediction of three months, got stronger and building new memories. My son tells me that I don’t want to know, he thought I would never see his new twins but I loving to see them grow. Yes I take a lot of medicine but still here , living on my own and starting a new journey. 
Hope my journey gives you some hope that you also good be starting a new journey. 

Best of luck  

You could have written this about my mum, who was told she had an untreatable high grade glioma at the beginning of December. She is also on steroids (dexamethasone). I spoke candidly with her neuro-oncologist and he indicated a median prognosis of 2.5 months. The more gentle nurse said she had known patients get to 6 months if they were otherwise healthy. 

Good morning hope you mum is still proving them wrong. I still believe having my six grandchildren keeps me going. But please feel free to contact me or get your mum to contact me if you think I can help in anyway. My terminal diagnosis is now inactive from the last scan. Going from terminal to inactive is hard after thinking and putting things in place for three months it’s been three years since that diagnosis, I at times feel like the medical world has forgotten me.
