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...

I wish you the best. 58 is young. I am sorry you both are going through it. It is such a horrible thing to deal with and I think you are correct. People either don’t know what to say or don’t want to face their own mortality. I cried all the time the first two years after he passed. I am somewhat better now as far as the crying goes. I still cry every day but much shorter outbursts now. I hope you try to enjoy every minute with him that you can. Don’t argue about things. Be as supportive as you can be. We had our arguments over the years like all couples do but after he was diagnosed I never got upset with him because it wasn’t going to help matters. I tried to be as cheerful as I could be with him every day.

I have a bunch of photos of him during our 25 years together but I don’t have many videos. I wish I had taken more videos of him. I took several during his time in rehab after the surgery but I wish I had taken more during our more happy times.
