Last June I had the operation as your husband. Same size, Right Frontal lobe & GBM 4. It was a terrible shock. I then had Radiotherapy & Chemo every day for six weeks.The only side effects I have had are Hair loss (which has now grown back), Tiredness, but no Nausea or vomiting and weight gain from the steroids.
I am now only on Temedal, on a 5 day cycle, every 28 days, 2mg of Dexamethazone and Epilm to prevent seizures.I am feeling well in myself and my Specialist is pleased with my progress.
I know I can beat this with a positive attitude.For the first time since the diagnosis I am now planning things in my future, such as my sixtieth Birthday in Nov, next Christmas and other dates I want to be here for.
Just a quick word from my wife Heather, Stay strong it will get easier to cope with, but the next three months are going to be hard.
Kind regards
Dennis
