Hi all,
I got the news today that my mother has got glioblastoma stage 4.
My mam got brought to A&E 6 weeks ago because she was found disoriented and lost in the town where she has always lived. Last week she had her surgery to remove as much of her tumor as possible. Since then she has become more and more confused and tired. Her sight is very poor in her right eye, she needs a walking frame to walk and her right arm and leg are very weak. I have been told they will evaluate her to see if she is well enough for radiation but her surgeon doesn't think she is. It's so hard to see how frustrated she gets at being in hospital. She thinks she is being detained by the nurses for no reason and she keeps begging me to get her out of there. She keeps asking why my Dad can't come see her even though he passed away 9 years ago. Her conversations just repeat over and over. Her speech is so slurred and she doesn't seem to always understand me. I'm really worried that even though I only got the diagnosis today that I don't have much time left with her. I just feel like everything is happening so quickly.
Anyone who would like to chat and share experiences I would really appreciate it. I am an only child so I don't have any siblings for support and I'm just feeling so alone and lost at the moment.
