My dad was diagnosed with glioma today states aggressive form, he’s 71 fit and healthy just retired goes to the gym 3 x week, he’s like a 50yr old..
3 options given to us 1- symptom control - giving him months !
2/ biop with chemo/radio giving him 6/9 months
3/ Crainiotomy with treatment giving him 12 months ..
Shocked is not the words for it, he said but I feel ok how can this be!
Then watching my mum unravel how can she live without him after over 50 years of Marriage, now that was hard to watch.
He’s opted for the 3rd option and wants to live to se his grandchildren grow up..
Being a nurse myself I’m scared to loose my dad to surgery and treatments and having no quality of life . As he’s so active and full of it.
It’s totally his decision, of which I have to respect and that’s hard.
And the operation is booked for 1 weeks time..
What’s the outcome ?? Will he get more time ?? Will
He be able to live semi normal life ?
I’m scared, frightened for what’s to come.. my dad is a legend my hero xx
