Giloblastoma brain tumor

Posted by kjsthljc1 @kjsthljc1, 20 hours ago

My husband, 74, woke non verbal March 28 and was diagnosed at Duke hospital with a grade 4 giloblastoma brain tumor. He had surgery April 13, was sent home 1 day later, was home for 17 days then had a stroke, was hospitalized again for 8 days then died in hospice 3 days later. He had no signs of this, we were convinced with surgery he would get 10-12 months but a total of 45 days is all he made it. He was actually the best the 2 days prior to surgery, never the same after. His death was absolutely horrible and I am now struggling being without him after 56 years of marriage.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. GBM is a cruel disease. I lost my husband four years ago to GBM. He last 107 days after his surgery. I have forever been changed by his death. We were together for 25 years. I miss him every day. I had very little support from friends and family. I even had some long time friends ghost me. I wish you the best. I hope you have some good support from friends and family.
