Hi Terri,
I am so very sorry to hear of your sudden loss. You would not have even had time to get over the shock of the diagnosis, let alone everything else as well.
My hubby Dennis was diagnosed on 5th June with a tumour after only two weeks of headaches, and only because I insisted on a CT scan. He was operated on 3 days later.and it was Glioblastoma Multiforme. I have since found out that if he had not been treated as rapidly as he was. I would have been in your situation.
The doctors have said he could have had the tumour growing in his head for up to a year before. There is a really good website called virtualtrials.com which answers a lot of questions regarding brain Tumours which we found helpful in the beginning.
We both now facing a very uncertain future & are taking one day at a time.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Kindest regards
Heather

Subject: [nzbraintumour] hello
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.
