Dear Sherry,



My husband also was diagnosed with grade 4 GBM.  Surgery removed 75%.  This is a difficult time, but you must have hope.  Even our oncology DR. said that people with faith, regardless of the outcome seem to do better.  We continue to ask God to heal, for a miracle.  Its is not easy.  I also know.  We haven't encountered all the symptoms and reactions you mentioned, but memory loss which is very difficult.  We are also trying supplements and a modified Johanna Budwig cottage cheese diet.  This will also keep weight on him.  He needs to be supported and encouraged.  If your dad chooses not to continue radiation, suggest a healthy diet change.  Maybe he will consider this.  I wish for your the best.  My prayers will be with you.
