Hello Everyone, I am sorry I did not intorduce myself. I joined the forum to find people going through the same situation as myself. As I previously said, my Husband of 53 years was diagnosed in May with this horrible tumour and yesterday was taken in to Hospital and now has Sepsis on top of everything else. How much more his poor old body can take I do not know.

Hi Treez
a warm welcome to the group. Sorry I missed your first post as I was taking a break from the forum and am only just back.
I supported my later husband G through the three plus years of his Glioblastoma journey so I can relate only too well to what you and your family are going through. G was 50 when he was diagnosed.
A GBM journey is an emotional rollercoaster ride for all involved. You'll be amazed by just what the body can take. I hope the hospital get the sepsis under control. We had one infection scare the day after G got home after his surgery ( I assume it was sepsis but no one actually said at the time but it was scary and wasn't good) He recovered from that after a few days but it was touch and go for a bit till the antibiotics kicked in.
I'm not big on giving advice as you'll see from my other comments/posts but I'd encourage you to take this journey one step at a time. Focus on what you are being told and not the what ifs. Easier said than done I know. There's another group within the community that you might want to explore - Glioblastoma multiforme brain tumour forum | Macmillan Online Community I personally drew a lot of support from both this group and that one.

Hi Treez, I am new here too my Husband was given a few months to live 23rd April with nothing but a black hole for two weeks but he has now completed 3 weeks radiotherapy. over the weekend he took a tooth infection and his face doubled in size he got antibiotics and they seem to be working. If the medical team can get on top of your Husbands infection now then please keep asking questions as you feel as if you are stuck in a vacuum and can’t get out. It’s a constant battle I pray for restoration of your Husbands health
