Something similar happened to my wife. She quickly went from forgetting work passwords to losing most of her memory and speech in about 2 weeks. The surgery, radiation and chemo were successful. She when into remission for 2 years. 4 tumors came back last February and she restarted treatments. They are inoperable but she could do radiation and chemo. The tumors are pretty stable now. She just passed the 3 and half year mark and will likely pass the 4 year mark and more.

Glioblastoma is a horrible disease. It robs its victims of every by the end.

Glad to hear she is still with us, I’ll be praying for her. Yes glioblastoma is horribly aggressive, you’re wife is one of the rare survivors, a miracle.

Have you noticed lately, even on this thread for example, a lot more people seem to be getting cancer today? A few other Freepers on this very thread have also had experience with glioblastoma, including one Freeper Polyxene who wrote me and said her husband passed the same way from diagnoses to death in 15 days.

Is it me or do a LOT more people seem to be getting cancer today?? Not to sound like Al Pacino from the movie “And justice for all” but something is REEAAALLY wrong here.

I don’t remember this many people getting cancer in the past at all, especially something like glioblastoma which is a rare cancer yet here were have several people on this thread who have had experience with it.

Is it the food like RFK Jr. says? The Covid vaccine? Pollution? Is it on purpose? That wouldn’t surprise me considering what’s been in office the past 4 years.

Have you heard of the Optune? An old friend is still alive 8 years after diagnosis. She used this helmet after surgery and chemo. She was one of the army adopters. It was Cali, and her insurance covered the cost.
