    received 2 avastin treatments and decided not to take further treatments since tumor had grown.  Was diagnosed in Nov. 2016.  His is in the thalamus and is inoperable. Did your husband have any symptoms?  How is your husband doing?

    Have seen an awful decline in

    Have seen an awful decline in last 2 weeks.  Went from sitting in chair unassisted to unable to get out of bed or stand.  Very confused all the time.  Paranoid about some one after him, thinks hospice is trying to poison him, don't drink the water, hallucinations,  Very combative!  It is awful!  Update!  It appears the morphine was causing lots of these issues.  Not taking any at all and slowly regaining strength and cognitive thinking is back to normal!
