Hi everyone, would love some advise at a scary time.  
My lovely daddy who is 70 but remarkably fit and heathy was 10 weeks ago diagnosed with grade 4 glioblastoma. 
This was a huge shock to us because he was still working. He was taken for a craniotomy for partial de buking and biopsy’s. He was commenced on steroids for facial drop and slurred speech. He recovered remarkably well and was offered 3 weeks radiotherapy and chemotherapy. He started both this week, but I feel he was deteriorated. His mobility has decreased and now has a left sided weakness. We were told  that his symptoms will get worse before they get better however I am so scared the treatment is making him worse. 
How has this treatment been for anyone else?
