Hi everyone

I am just new to this group so thought I would quickly introduce
myself. I am 19 years old and live in Palmerston North. In August
this year my father was diagnosed with a high grade glioblastoma
multiforme. He had the awake craniotomy preformed in Wellington a few
weeks later, and is nearing the end of his radiation treatment now.
He remains amazingly positive and is still full of life, although
very tired.

That's his story anyway. I am finding it increasingly difficult
dealing with things as we are constantly reminded by doctors etc that
his prognosis is poor, however we still believe he will live till
he's 95 :) I would love to hear stories about any long term
survivors, so if anyone could point me in the right direction to find
some related threads that would be great...not really sure how to
find my way round here yet.

Lastly i would like to express my appreciation for you Penny, and
your husband Dave. The million dollar tumour documentary was very
touching - what an inspirational story. I would like to thank you for
the fight the two of you put up. I had no idea only 3 years earlier
Dad may not have had the chemo pills available to him. He will
continue to take these for a further six months which will increase
his chance of survival, and that is thanks to you.

Much love to all
