Hi, I’m new to the support site but wondered if anyone could help me please. My father was diagnosed with stage 4 GBM in spring and has finished hisfirst 6 week radiotherapy. 2 weeks after his radio had finished he has ended up in hospital with bone marrow suppression and shingles. He is currently very poorly but wondered if anyone else had similar experiences?
thanks in advance :)
