EOL Glioblastoma

Hello

My father is EOL with GBM . He was diagnosed in Dec 2022 . He had treatment but we were told back in March the tumour had spread and he had approx 3 months to live . He has been bed bound and hardly able to move since end of July . Cannot open his eyes or speak . Still eats a little . Can hardly move . How is he still going ? I feel although he doesn't appear to be in pain he is without doubt suffering as I believe part of him is aware of what is going on . How long can he possibly go on in this awful state ?

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Moomin although I'm really sorry to hear about your father.

    I can't begin to imagine how difficult this past year has been for you both, even more so since the end of July, but I hope you can take some strength, and comfort, from knowing that you are not alone as our community are here for you and hopefully it won't be long until some of our members who have been on a similar journey with their loved ones will be along soon to share their experiences and advice.

    I know there isn't anything I can say or do that can make this situation any better but if you feel it may help to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very supportive and will do all they can to help you at this time.

    Kind regards,
