Dad dying from Glioblastoma, has paranoia

Electra
Offline

Hello everyone, 

My dad has multiform, glioblastoma, gliosarkoma and PNET which is the bingo of aggresive brain tumors. He just had surgery, started chemo and radiation and at the moment he is functional.

Apart from the occasional mixing of words, he seems to have intense homicidal fantasies and lots and lots of anger. He wants to get into fight with everyone and screams. I am wondering if anyone else that know someone with the same brain tumor type has experienced it. It would be really helpful if also you could describe how this will continue for him until the end. 

Thank you!

    Hi

    sorry to hear about your dad I have the same but mine is right temporal lobe was removed but is slowly growing back 

    I feel like I have changed attitude wise and find myself very paranoid and get into bad moods because of it. I can't control this feeling nor can I ignore it as what was said to me when I was younger there is no smoke without fire

    i struggle with my emotions daily and find that I'm letting down my partner and pushing her away causing her stress feeling like she would be better without me.It hurts deep inside daily and I know it affects her too.

    anxiety stress emotions are all affected by this awful disease but no one can do anything to put my mind at rest 

    I hope his helps this is just a small insight to how I feel I'd hate to think how your dad feels
