I have just joined this group and should introduce myself. My name is
Terri. I hope that I don't upset anyone with what i will write. My
husband, Russell, aged 46,passed away on 1 Sept from glioblastoma
multiforme. He was diagnosed on 6 August, so it was slightly less than
four weeks from diagnosis to his death. He was essentially asymptomatic
until the day before his CT scan. Nothing that i read on the internet,
and nothing that was said by the neurosurgery team prepared me for his
very rapid deterioration and I am still seeking information about GBM
and its manifestations.
