Hello everyone. I’m wondering if anyone has any advice please? My Dad is now 75 and was diagnosed with a GBM nearly three years ago. He’s has done amazingly well and the tumour has remained stable. His speech started to get mixed up at the end of last year and he had a scan which showed that the tumour was still stable. His consultant said that he was probably having mini seizures due to the long term effects of radiotherapy. His anti-seizure medication was upped and he’s not been too bad. However, over the last week his speech has gone weird again and his right arm has lost some strength. We have called the nurse who has spoken to the consultant and she believes it’s the same as before. His next appointment is towards the end of April with her and he’ll have a scan just before. There has been no other advice and as my Mum spoke to them, she did not push for any. I’m going to see my parents tomorrow to see how Dad is. I’m just concerned that he could have had a stroke or is this par for the cause. Any advice or a link to advice of what we can do to help manage the situation would be very much appreciated.
Thank you
