Hi @nursnis
My mother lost her battle with GBM. She Was diagnosed stage 4. Of the time they diagnosed her she had over 100 fingers that wrapped around her brain and her brain and two of the fingers develop tumors at the end of them. Surgery was not an option for her and we chose to do radiation for 30 days straight and a round of chemo in hopes to slow down the disease process. Over 3 months time she declined by the 3rd month she had no core strength to sit up on her own. Her headaches were getting worse she became more and more confused. We decided it was time to get help from hospice. But her oncologist refused to order hospice. I fired him and went with the hospice medical director. From my medical background and my personal experience, the end process of a GBM battle is painful for the patient and the families. I’m am sorry there is no easy way to tell anyone how the end will be as it is different for each individual. For my mom within 24 hrs she went from talking and eating to completely unresponsive other than moaning in pain. Within those 24 hours the cancer created holes externally and she went to sleep surrounded by her family and love she went to her forever home.

Praying for peace as you all endure this journey.
