Inoperable Glioblastoma

[Casper438]

My dad has glioblastoma in his left frontal lobe. His right arm/hand is now completely paralysed and his speech is getting poorer every week. It’s taken 5 months to finally start treatment due to stroke misdiagnosis. Due to location they cannot de bulk the tumour. As he is 68 he opted for 3 weeks of radiotherapy combined with daily Chemo (TMZ). He is only 2 days in and feeling fine - well as fine as he can be considering. I wondered if anyone with similar had shrinkage of their tumour with radiotherapy and Chemo and if their functional abilities improved any?
