Gbm is cruel , it’s a harsh illness that robs us of our loved ones.
Even with the standard protocol of treatment this nasty illness never goes away or returns with a vengeance. Brain cancer only has one percent of government funding unlike other cancers , more needs to be done to stop others going through this devastation.
My warrior brother succumbed to gbm in July after a 14 month battle - he was 51, he deserved to live to be a old man , not be bed bound, loss of mobility, drooped mouth, loss of hearing and speech bad too , he survived ten weeks on palliative care where he fought so hard the end was so cruel to see as he lost consciousness and gasped for breathe . I am in awe at his strength and he leaves behind a great legacy as his funeral he wanted donations to be given to brain tumour research instead of buying flowers, fly high and sleep well - until we meet again
Oh Sad life11, I just want to give you a huge hug after reading that. So sorry for your loss.
What you say is so true, GBM4 is too cruel for words. It can rob you of the person before they've even gone.
Please remember to take care of yourself as you heal here. MacMillan is still here to support you whenever you need them.
love n hugs

HI
you're right GBM4 is evil.
I do my best with the replies i post and try to bear in mind the support I needed when I first reached out for help through this community two years ago.
If my words help just one person then that's a success as far as I'm concerned.
love n hugs
