Forty-one months ago, my husband Jack (age 65) was operated on for removal of a IV GBM and the operating surgeon "gave" Jack six months. We were devastated and have since learned that the medical profession has an undercurrent of negativity/fatalism because of the epidemic of diseases. Since that daunting time my husband has avoided the "follow-through" with the negative surgeon and has gone on to partner with his oncologist/radiologist/general practice doctors and thus has regained his faith in himself. You MUST partner with doctors who are positive because you and your husband must empower yourselves as you fight the battle to beat the disease and this cannot be done with negative medical care. Fight to maintain a balance by taking control and good luck. Loyce!
