Subject: GiloBlastoma IV Brain Swelling
Date: 05/20/2008

My Aunt was DX with Giloblastoma on April 1st. She had surgery on April 3rd. They gave her 3-4 months with Radiation and Chemo.

She has been doing Radiation for 4 weeks. Last Thursday she took a turn for the worse and the headaches have started again. They stopped Radiation becasue she was week Monday and did a CT. She has massive brain swelling, but the Dr's are not sure why. They said that she should be took home and have Hospice called. My cousins meet with Hospice today and they are to start next week once she is moved.

The Dr's would not say how long but that it would not be months before the end.

Does anyone know what causes that much swelling. The tumors are not growing at this point but she is disoriented again due to the pressure.
