Friend has Brain Cancer Glioblastoma: What are the next steps?

Susan,
I am so sorry to hear about your friend Jane's diagnosis.
Glioblastoma comes without warning on so many occasions as my wife, Deborah, experienced.
The options do depend on how the tumours have progressed and how tired Jane is from the symptoms. It could involve an operation, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy.
The outcome for us was that, after eight months after the diagnosis, Deborah went to be with Jesus; but I must emphasise that every situation is different so it could be that Jane could live for many more years.
I hope that her prognosis and treatment goes well with a positive outcome.
Andrew

Andrew, I am so sorry for your loss. I'm sure you know that your love for her was probably a big part of Deborah's willingness to take on the battle as long as she did. I hate the thought of leaving this life, but I REALLY can't abide the thought of leaving my husband alone. (We've been married 43 years). I know I would want him to fight if our roles were reversed. I feel very blessed to have someone in my life who is encouraging me and standing right behind me in this ugly battle and I'm sure Deborah felt the same way. I do hope you are doing OK and that you are able to find some happiness and peace going forward. I'll keep you in my prayers. And please accept my deepest condolences. Sue

Hi @susan159, I just wanted to make sure you see this special reply from @andrew172. How is your friend doing?
Andrew, thank you for sharing your wife’s story with us. I’m
so very sorry that she passed away. It’s never easy losing our loved ones and I know the adjustment is so difficult.
How long ago was this? Do you have family and friends nearby for support?
