I add my welcome Tracy. I'm glad you connected with Dawn already. I'm also going to tag fellow members @cure @sandydominy1 @barbkaser @martyc2016 @js119 @ljsandlin and @adri are all caring for a family member who has glioblastoma. They may be able to provide further insight to your questions about radiation and surgery according to their experiences.

Tracy, can you please clarify something from your first post? The oncologist is recommending surgery and the surgeon recommends radiation first, but you have to wait several months before a second round of radiation can be given? Are the neuro-oncologist and neurosurgeon at the same care facility?

The typical treatment is surgery, then chemo and radiation together.
