Hi,This is my first post. My brother has recently been diagnosed with a Glioblastoma grade 4. It's been alot to take in as I'm sure you can all understand. He starts Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy next Monday 22nd July. I have a few questions that I hope can be answered.

Firstly I want to say how incredible you all are. I've read some really positive posts on here which gives me hope. Thank you for sharing your story's.

I want to make up a goodie bag for my brother that will help him through the next 6 weeks of treatment. Please can I have some ideas from you of what really helped you through your treatment.

I'm starting to look into possibly getting him a second opinion. From what I've read it could delay treatment. Has anyone gone down the route of getting a second opinion? What were the out comes?

Also has anyone changed their diet in any way to help with recovery. I've heard that cancer cells love sugar and how being on a sugar free diet could help.

One other thing, has anyone been on any trials that have worked and would recommend.

Thank you for spending the time reading my post. I'm sorry for all the questions, I'm just looking for some support and help. Thank you again.
