Hi just read your post about your friends post about her dad, my dad was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma and that was in 23/05/2025, when we were told that dad would have 4 weeks to 3months. My dad has left weakness in his arm and left leg, he is 83. My family and dad had decided not to go ahead with the radiation, so I am wondering as too how long will it be I just don’t want him to suffer as I really want him to be comfortable.
We are still waiting for the palliative care to get in touch with us, so far dad does not have any pain, he is just not able to get up to walk and do anything for him self he was living independantly and driving into our town. It’s been so quick from the first fall which he is so stowick. If anyone on this site and reads my post and they have the same diagnose and if they can give me any information I would be greatly appreciated.

My wife had surgury last March, which gave her some qulity time for 4 months after the recovery. We were planning our next rip when on a Friday when I started noticing signs. She passed way the following Thursday. One week later. We got lucky in that she had no pain, I can tell you more if you want.
