Hi I was just recently diagnosed with glioblastoma after having a craniotomy to remove a mass that was life threatening on my occipital lobe and spent 8 days in icu. I have two other masses, one on my frontal lobe and one midbrain. I am getting ready to see the radiation oncologist on wed (dec 16) and as soon as my chemo arrives I will begin gliostine and temodar duo. I am super nervous and not sure how to prepare. I have been drinking tons of ensure with protein. I am also a breast cancer survivor since 2012 and at first the dr thought it had returned and metastaticized, which was not the case afyer pathology results. I do not wanna die yet. I have pets and a husband that I do not want to grieve or suffer. Any tips on how to prepare, survive and thrive during and after this?
