My Husband's journey with Glioblastoma

A second round of radiation started last Tuesday, but today we find ourselves back seeing a doctor before his treatment. He is nauseous and unsteady on his feet and his speech a little garbled. Doctor says his brain is swelling because the radiation site has already had 6 weeks of it previously plus two surgeries. They put him back on 4 mg of Dexamethasone 2x day for 7 days to reduce the swelling. I sure hope it works. His last radiation treatment will be one week from yesterday. I got word that the Keytruda has been approved, so that will start tomorrow along with his Avastin. I sure hope he can tolerate it all.

@otis123, what a relief that Keytruda was approved at this time. I know it's only been a few days, but how is your husband tolerating it? Has the nausea and unsteadiness subsided since you last wrote?

@mgreen616, how are you and your husband doing? What are the next steps for him?
