Hello
My Mothere was diagnosed with this last October and went through 2 surgeries in February 06 ane then April 06 again. She only got one shot of Chemo and Tumedor the doctors told us that they only have a 15% chance of working anyway. The progression is slow at first ehn it speeds up. When she first got diagnosed in Oct 2005 she was fine exept for some headaches once in a while by januarry she was not able to read anymore and as time passed she was able to do less and less. Now almost 1 year to the day of her diagnosis she is on Hospice and is almost completly incoherent. We are all around her everyday and sometimes she remembers us but mostly nothing. The problem with my Mom is she tends to get very mean when she's awake. She always yells at us and my dad and was pretty violent on many occasions. We are giving her ativan now to keep her safe it is helping although she is sleeping more from it. All I can say is hang in there. Our hospice nurse said that sometimes God makes it so hard for us ( the caregivers) so that when she leaves us it hurts a little less. I don't think that is true, it will hurt he same no matter what.
Live each day so that it's memory lives on forever in your heart.
