My husband has glioblastoma

Hi I’m struggling to come to terms with my husbands diagnosis. He was diagnosed in January & had a life saving op where they managed to remove 70 per cent of the tumour. He is confined to a wheelchair & now can’t take him out as his legs are too weak for transfers into the car. I’m still hoping for a miracle & my heart goes out to all who have to suffer this & other cancers.

    Hi Volandera

    I'm sorry to hear about your husband, I myself am going through brain cancer 2nd time around, I had been in remission since 2012 and I ofund out in Feb this year it has come back as a grade 4 Gilblastoma, I am so scared about what is next and i just try to stay positive.

    The days don't seem to pass, and i feel lost and alone, I hope you have a good support network and all the best for your husband.

    Kind Regards

    Hi, glioblastoma is cruel. I lost my mum after a diagnosis out of the blue then 7 months and she was gone. On reflection I wouldn't change anything I did, spending as much time with her as possible, laughing, crying. I found it unbearable not knowing what would happen or when. The shock of diagnosis was too much to deal with and even now I can't believe what has happened to my healthy mum. Its overwhelming 

    Take each day, hour as it comes as this horrible disease can change suddenly. Mum spent her last month bed bound but I just tucked myself in to bed with her and those are the memories that keep me going now. 

    Sending you a huge hug, I truly know how you must be feeling. Xx
