Hi.
My husband has just received a diagnosis of glioblastoma and is due to start Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy in a fortnight.
I am going silently to pieces. He has had surgery but has just started getting confused again. I am terrified.
I just am feeling really isolated and wanted to connect with other people going through the same thing.
Thank you for listening to me.
Thanks. 2 years is reassuring. I know every one is different but I do need to hear something positive. He finished radio and Chemotherapy last week and is very tired but did not have too many problems with it which was a blessing. We go for scans in a few weeks.
Hi.
You are so right. It makes you feel so lonely. The person I knew is slipping away in front of me. I hope that you are okay.
Thank you it had helped. He had to go back on steroids 10 or so days after he finished radiotherapy and Chemotherapy as he became really confused and agitated again. Luckily he responds really well to them. It is scary though. I could not get through to him. He is better now and we start reducing them next week.
