3 of my family members passed away from glioblastoma multiforme tumors. Most patients over 70 don’t go through the Operation[s], Radiation and Chemo treatments. They choose to go home or into hospice care with pain medication. The operations to remove the tumors are horrible. Recover is painful and in some cases the patient loses use of body functions. At 80 years old, the treatment would not be worth the suffering.
