Glioblastoma - end of life?

Hi, 

 

my mum was diognosed with glioblastoma in December 2018. The cancer returned last year and treatment no longer works. 
her symptoms were very slow. Over about 4 months her speech got worse, just choosing the wrong words so we could still hold conversations and she got really tired so we'd visit for short stints. 
 

then at the beginning of February I got covid and couldn't see mum for two weeks. 
during that two weeks mum went blind, paralysed down her right side and has now complelty lost her speech. 
she's extremely tired all the time and one day she even spent the entire day sleeping. 
 

im devastated that I've lost my chance to say all the things I should of said years ago and this morning I dreamt mum was talking normally, then I had a gut wrenching realisation when I woke up  that mum and I will never have a conversation again. 

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced their loved one loosing speech and then having it come back somewhat? 
I saw somewhere that someone's dads returned but I can't find any other experiences like this 

 

my mum is only 58, I see an elderly person and feel so bitter, why has my mum been robbed of her life? She'll never grow old and this is really torturing me

  • Hi

    My mum was diagnosed 5 weeks ago after suddenly forgetting how to spell her name. She was told the tumours were too advanced and offered no treatment, just palliative care and a very short term prognosis (a few months). Like your mum, she has been having normal conversations but forgets certain words and names but last week I noticed a squint in her eye that seems to be getting worse. She keeps saying she isn't in any pain but is very tired ans becoming increasingly unsteady on her feet. My mum is 60 and I have a 6 week old daughter that I'm so grateful she has been able to meet but I am constantly looking at signs of deterioration and worrying about what is to come. I see her every day and am doing my best to create as many lovely memories as possible but it seems to be getting harder as time goes on
