Non Operable Glioblastoma 4: Tips for chemotherapy and radiotherapy?

My wife had glioblastoma on the left side of her brain. TMZ and radiation contained the cancer in the original locations.
She had radiation treatment every day for 2 weeks and three cycles of TMZ treatment, then three maintenance treatments of TMZ.
After about 11 months, the cancer appeared on the right side of her brain, and neither the TMZ nor radiation treatments had any impact on the cancer's growth.
She fought a brave fight against the cancer for 17 months, but it is truly not treatable.

So so very sad for you, sir.
You did the best you could for her - this disease is so u fair and so devastating.
I believe in my heart she knew she was loved at all time. God bless you.

So sorry to read about your wife. Was her quality of life somewhat decent for most of the 17 months? My husband had almost zero quality life soon after he was diagnosed. The last six weeks of his three months he was bed ridden. But in a brother note I met a met a few weeks ago who was diagnosed at age 45 and they caught it earlier. He had surgery and changed his diet and did radiation and TMZ and he never missed a day of work. He is 60 now and still doing great. It is amazing. I know of another who is doing great five heads after he was diagnosed. So some actually do pretty well but it is very rare. Maybe newer treatments will do better. I wish the best to anyone who gets this horrible diagnosis.
