I hope you and you're family doing okay. This is not an easy thing to deal with. A relative of mine has died because of glioblastoma. He survived 14 months after the diagnosis.

I know this might come as very harsh from me but to this day glioblastoma is a death sentence.

I remember myself and others spending hours on the internet looking for trials, resources, success stories and what not. Later I realized that was just part of denial and negotiation.

He went through 2 operations where the portions of tumor were removed. Each time he came out with sort of personality changes, degradation in cognition.

The only thing that helped was that I scored thc oil - it's illegal where I live - and administered it to the relative just for the sake of better mood and quality of life.
