Hi, Rustysmom. Surgery went well. The neurosurgeon said he removed what he could see. Unfortunately, the preliminary pathology report indicated a glioblastoma. We are devastated, Rustysmom. We haven't quite wrapped our heads around it. I'm trying to stay upbeat - not being Polly Anna but not assuming the worst either. The current plan is for chemo and radiation to start in about a month.
The doc wants to give the incision time to heal. Thank you so much for checking in. I (we) can really use the support of our friends. Hugs to you, too.

Hi Bug, I've been thinking of you and your husband. How did his surgery go? I know you must be up to your eyeballs with caretaking these days. Hugs!

14 days agoOh, Bug, that is a tough diagnosis. And I know the treatment is going to continue to be challenging. We all know how this can go, but the treatments are getting better, and there has been a lot of success stories. I have a friend whose brother had this diagnosis and went through treatment and has had a very good outcome. It's been about 3 years, and he's NED. This could be your husband's story, also. Please don't forget to take care of yourself, too.
