Hi,

My Mum was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme Grade 4 in May this year. She has since undergone suregry to remove as much of the Tumour as possible with the sugeon informing that he removed all that he could see.

My mum seemed to recover from the surebry pretty quickly and and finished both the Chemo and Radiotherapy treatment around 4-6 weeks ago.

She seemed to go through the treatment fairly easily and took it in her stride. However since the treaement has stopped she had developed really bad anxiety and suicidal thoughts. Is this normal?

The doctor has presceribed anti-depressants which havent worked and she become a bit detached. Her speech is slow, complains of having no energy and is strating to sleep a lot.

Is this signs of recurrence of the tumour?

The Consultants have put back any addition chemo until her strength health improves. Her first follow up scan will not be taken for a few months.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Neil
