Hi everyone 

my husband was diagnosed last august Glioblastoma G4. We have had all the emotional distress, the what where’s why’s etc, 
He had 3 weeks radiotherapy and oral trial drugs.in November and I must say he felt well directly after the treatment but 3 months on he’s showing more signs of left sided weakness in his left arm & leg.

oncology Dr increased his dex to 8 mg daily yesterday 

The toileting … wee wee is unbelievable, he and me as his carer are both exhausted by the amount of times he needs to go in a 24 hr day. It’s almost every 15-20mins. he wears pads to help soak up some spillage and to be honest apart from the leg & arm weakness we can really go out because of the toileting.

Can Someone give any advise here ? 
thanks  in advance 

  • Just an update in case it's of use to someone. In my wife's case the tablets have already been super helpful. She's going to the toilet far less and therefore getting a better night's sleep making a real difference to quality of life. Would recommend talking to GP for anyone else with similar issue.
