My 50yr old mum has been diagnosed with glioblastoma within the last 4 weeks. 1 week ago she had surgery to remove the tumour and 90% was successfully removed. I felt so relieved that it was almost over. I am so naive. She now has to have 9 months of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Upon hearing, I thought this is a positive move, it must be treatable. I did a little googling earlier to try to understand exactly what she has and how much treatment is advised and I'm shocked at what I have found. I read that 12-18months is average life expectancy and that it's likely to come back. Have my parents tried to shield me from this devastating news?? because when we talk about it they're both so positive. Is it really that aggressive and awful that even after treatment it takes our loved ones away so soon? My baby, her grandson, is 3 months old...he doesn't have much time left with her does he? I wasn't prepared to read what I did, I'm too scared to question my parents as I don't want them any more upset than they already are. Doctors always say 'you should never Google as it's not accurate' but is what I've read accurate??
