My Husband's diagnosis of glioblastoma grade 4

My husband took it before bed and got along pretty good. Drink water to flush it out. He also tried optune therapy. He lasted around six weeks but he thought it was ruining his good days and stopped.

Welcome, @crf. Is your husband currently doing any treatment? How is he doing? How are you doing?

My husband never was offered optune therapy. I don't know that we would have tried it though because from what I have read about it, it seems quite difficult to deal with. Did your husband do radiation therapy? Mine did and I think that just killed him quicker. He also didn't have the receptors for the temodar so I don't think the temodar helped him at all. He just couldn't get a break. I am glad though he was mostly peaceful in the bed during his decline. I have read that some GBM patients can be very agitated and vocal and abusive. He was not that. He just slept most of the time and didn't complain much. I just sat and held his hand as much as possible to comfort him.
