Radiation for 70 yr old (glioblastomas grade 4)?

My husband never really had pain at the end as long as he was lying in bed. He was bedridden the last six weeks he was alive. He would hurt when the nurses would bathe him and change him though. They sometimes sat him up in a wheel chair. He complained a lot about pain when he was sitting so they stopped doing that He had a friend who was a former nurse. She kept telling me that I needed to get him more therapy. I don’t see how therapy was going to stop the cancer from killing him. I was so amazed and shocked at some of the things people said to him near the end. His sister was telling him he was going to be all better soon as he lay in bed and could barely speak a few words and had not eaten in a week. He died four days later. I just found that to be very insensitive and rude.

Hi Kyle my dad had been diagnosed but he has not had any treatment at all , he gets confused in date and time he has his watch on he is able to still tell us the time to the second. I am so sorry that you had found that with relatives and the lady that was a nurse previously she was not being empathetic at all. I am just finding it hard as the palliative care team have not been to see him he was linked with them by his GP. It’s just hard trying to navigate the aged care package at a level four. To commence but anyway Kyle thoughts are with you and your family.
