  Surgery went well and we are on our first treatment of Avastin. Surgery was done at UNiversity of California Irvine. The original chemo didn't work and the tumor came back about a month after radiation ended. He was having symptoms like in the beginning. Numbness, balance and just feeling lousy. They did an MRI and found that it had returned. Hope this helps!

  Wow, I thought I was the only crazy caregiver out there. My husband was dx in May with GBM. He is 51 and I am 43 with  14 and 17 teenagers in the house. I feel like I have gone through every emotion possible, but each day it seems there is a new one. I am still trying to work, but that is getting harder and harder. At least now I feel better about starting projects/hobbies/new hobbies in the down time. Right now...

  Hi Spudlady! It sounds like we are on about the same timeline. We found the GBM IV on 5/26/12, had surgery on 5/30/12, and started radiation and oral chemo on 6/25/12. We have completed 9 of 33 radiation treaments. So far, so good. We are taking it a day at a time and trying to keep a VERY positive attitude. We have two teenagers in the house, so we try and balance out their normal attitudes. Ha, ha! We are just try...

  Thanks so much! The tumor was located in the front left lobe. What type of counselor did you get? We have two teenagers and I was thinking we could all use someone to talk to. How is your husband doing? Thanks for the hugs! Tami

  Hi! Were you also tired from radiation and temodar early on? or is the 5/23 cycle make you more tired? I am just curious as what's to come. I am hanging in there and I'm glad you haven't been sick. My husband hasn't been sick either. Thanks! Tami
