      Ratish My husband was stunned at how little pain/discomfort he experienced with surgery. Sorry your family and your father are having to deal with this awful cancer. Pam

        Karen, My 4 year old grandson who is being treated for leukemia had an IVIG treatment after missing four weeks of treatment with low blood numbers. He had pretty much been sick for three months - or at least never healthy. It was a miracle treatment for him. Hope you have same benefit. Pam

          I know of one other person with similar symptoms. Now that he's off CCNU he's literally a different person. Good luck/best wishes that CCNU is the culprit. Pam

            Sheri, Previewing my response didn't work so here I go again. First off congratulations for being 2 plus years out. Yes radiation side effects are still presenting 2 years later. Dan's didn't really show up until 18 months out. He had left frontal lobe tumor. I especially notice right hand issues: writing nearly illegible, typing problems, can't carry cup of coffee w/o spilling, eats left handed at times. L...

              Thanks for all the input. Dan had plantar fasciitis many years ago. We know that isn't the issue. Wishing that were the culprit since I think Huxley is right on. He's on Keppra. Not a high dose, but for over 2 years. He's seeing the podiatrist tomorrow. Not his first visit. Don't hold out much hope for relief. I hurt watching him walking, but hey he's here 2 plus years following diagnosis. Keeping everyone...

                The 1 issue I can relate to is the lack of filter when talking. My darling husband says things he never ever would have said prior to GBM. I think "I can't believe he just said that" regularly. Must say I agree with others - sounds like she is unable to care for herself any longer. Brain cancer really sucks!

                      My husband is experiencing pain, mostly in arch of right foot, making walking very painful and short in duration. Began about a year ago. Initially thought it was neuropathy from treatment, but as best he can explain feels like pain from bones not nerve endings. His tumor was left frontal lobs so we are not surprised his right side is the problem. Just wondering if his experience is unique to him...............

                      I'm new on this site, though I've been a "voyeur" since discovering it in Oct following my husband's surgery for GBM on Sept 14, 2010. We're very grateful for this time to get our affairs in order. He has done well post surgery. Hoping and praying for more good MRI's. His 5/23 temodor has become a challenge keeping the pills down.
