Renee, Your letter could have been written by me. My father was a active 79 year old when he was just diagnosed with gbm three weeks ago. We are heartbroken and having a terrible time copiing with all this info. I read many internet info & it frightens be so much. My dad is also paralyzed on the right side & his speech is impaired. How do you cope with such heartache. He is in a skilled nursing facility & we visit him every day. he starts radiation this week. Any advice would be appreciated.
