Hi Melancholy, 

A warm welcome to Cancer Chat though I am so sorry your husband has been diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma - this is truly heart-breaking and it must be so hard for you to have to go through this and finding that the antidepressants are not helping. As they are causing terrible nausea and an upset stomach, I think it would be worth talking to your GP about that and seeing whether they have any alternative treatment to offer that will help the depression but without causing these terrible side effects. It must have been a bit of a blow too to find out that the tumour is inoperable but I hope that the radiotherapy will help as well as the chemotherapy treatment - do you know when he will be able to start treatment?

I can imagine this has become a bit all-consuming and that your life has suddenly changed radically and it's completely understandable that you are feeling like your world is falling apart and it can be hard to keep strong but I am sure he appreciates your love and support during this difficult. You will find helpful information on our website for Family, friends and carers  which will tell you more about how to support someone with cancer without forgetting to take care of yourself during this intensely anxious time. I noticed there is another member Garr who posted only a few days ago this glioblastoma thread - this member's wife has also been diagnosed with glioblastoma so it might be a good idea for you to connect and exchange experiences of living with a partner with glioblastoma. Jono70 also posted this thread last month on their recent glioblastoma stage 4 diagnosis  and would be a good person for you to talk to as well. These are just a few examples but there are many more and I hope someone who has been affected by glioblastoma will be along shortly to share their story with you. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
