Friend,
My husband, currently age 73, was diagnosed (and surgery to remove GBM-stage 4 ) on April 3 2023, We also went through 6 weeks radiation followed by T for one year. Some growth in a new area so we had a short stint of radiation and now a every 2 week stint at the infusion center.
My husband walks very clumsy and has also had falls. He recently and very reluctantly let me get him a walker with a seat. It is very lightweight and I purchased in April and he uses it more and more as has spells where he feels very uneasy walking.
Oncology was very pleased about the walker today! Dr says that MANY brain cancer and other cancer patients have falls and these falls are particularly dangerous because the body is compromised.
However, a LOT of his symptoms, my doctor blames on radiation.
You did not mention your husbands age, (bladder control) but I would ask the Dr. As you get older, that could be a separate problem.
One other thing, my husband has had this disease for almost 1.5 years. One of the worst thing right now is depression.
Right now I am concentrating on keeping things on an even keel. He has faith and that is a blessing.
I wish the best for you and hope I was of some help.
