so sorry to hear about your dad. My mom was dx in Jan 06 with a glioblastma multiforme IV tumor.
She's had 2 surgeries, rad, chemo waffers, and chemo pills. I guess your dad did not have surgery because you said they could not biopsie it...where is he geting treatment?

Hang in there I know its not easy, Janine0 -
Hi Janie, sorry to hear about your mom. How is she doing? My Dad is now on hospice and we are caring for him at home. Besides the anti sezuire meds, the atavian, the haldol and last Saturday we started him on steriods to help shrink some of the swelling. Not as much relief as we had hoped for. It has been 6 weeks since his dx and he has so declined. He can barely walk, his words don't come out. He is trying so hard. Thanks for responding to my message.janinemah said:hi mouie,

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? You dad was dx on 7/21 and died on 9/6? My dad, 62 years old had the front left lob cut out on 9/4/2006 and the docs are saying hes got 8-12 months. He starts chemo and rad tomorrow at MD Anderson, Houston. I'm worried about how my pops is going to go. I'm glad to see yours died in his sleep ... no pain!mouie said:Dad died Sept 6, 2006 at home with his wife and daughter present. No pain
