Radiation for 70 yr old (glioblastomas grade 4)?

Thank you. It has been a struggle everyday. What makes it worse is I have very few friends and despite asking them for help in the form of a phone call or quick email from them maybe once a week, I get nothing. I have read so many accounts online where a good support group is needed to help deal with the grief. I thought I had that but I was fooled. I talk to a therapist three times a week so I have someone to talk to. Even he is surprised at how little support I have gotten from family and friends. It is a very lonely experience.

Sorry for your loss... My husband (58 yrs old ) is going through stage 4 gbm and is unable to have the tumor removed since it is on his motor strip and speech.. he almost died from complications from a brain biopsy Feb 2024... . he is now on chemo pills and IV treatment.. MRI every 3 months.. last one showed tumor smaller and is stable... so at least that is something....I feel like my support from my family is lacking the communication and think our families are unsure how to talk about what happened.. idk ...I hope and pray my family and friends reach out to me.. maybe they are all afraid to show feelings,.... I will continue to keep you in my prayers.. stay strong...
