My wife, 77, and I learned on March 30, 2022 that she has gliobllastoma. We have no idea what we are facing. Life expectancy? Surgery? Medications? Palliative care? We wish to learn and receive, as well as offer, support to others also facing this disease.

My husband of thirty years who is a little older than me and in his mid 60s has glioblastoma. He began hospice and palliative care at home in mid-October and they didn’t think he would make Christmas. He has done really well but I am exhausted. The cancer is definitely taking hold of him now.
