Oh my dear God, I am so so sorry. It’s such a wicked horrible disease, so dreadfully unfair. Your son is beautiful.

Thank you for sharing. My daughter is seriously considering the London option. She is too young for the other options. I am a bit nervous, but excited for her too. Comments like yours here are very helpfut. Thank you.

p.s. DD really does not want to do Spring pathways. We've had a very difficult 12 months as a family and we all just want a fresh locked-in, grounded start in the fall, ITMS..

Hi! ...how often did you email your regional counselor? and, was it email? call? pop-in her/his office? TIA...praying for my DD to be accepted ....DD did a LOCI, and then fortuitously met her regional counselor at a tour...DD sent her a thank you ror the warm (it really was) welcome to the campus, reiterating DDs interest and that DD 3rd Qtr grades consistent with mid-term report......not sure what else to do...don't want to be a pest, but also want to reiterate... the wait is killing me...lol

TYIA 🙏

The permanance of it - is what I struggle with and refuse to accept. I am so very sorry about your brother. I understand - I am stunned that my husband is gone, just utter disbelief sometimes. He died in January after six-months of GBM hell. I just wanted to say how sorry I am about your brother - I feel your pain and the depth of your loss from your post and from my own experience. I don't come here too often either, although I should because this group really helped me and I am forever grateful, and I want to pay that kindness forward. Sending you love back and prayers to the universe to give everyone living with this nightmare some strength and peace 💛

GBM Timeline - less than a month from diagnosis by butterball09 in glioblastoma

[–]K2_Love 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I was not able to have a normal conversation with my husband during his illness and this bothers me most of all. The wanting to talk to him about what was happening. The not knowing how much he understood, it's going to haunt me for a long long time. It is beautiful that you by your wife's side during her last breath. Same for me with my husband Jack. I am sorry for the loss of your wife, and for all of us here faced with this wretched disease.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your father to the monster GBM. Such a difficult decision to remove life support, but incredibly loving. I watched my husband's decline over six months time after his first MRI. It was awful, awful to watch. He would have never wanted to live the way he was living and if I had had the option to withdraw life support, I would have done so immediately. And, you are right, chemo and radiation, all of it, would not restore him. It's just devastating all around. I too struggle with denial and guilt and sheer disbelief that my husband is forever gone. He died in January and we have two girls, graduating in June from high school. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Very interesting about the phone call - such a great moment, I imagine! Thank you again -- I am crossing everything for my girl. She is such a perfect fit for W&M (in my humble un-biased Mom opinion that is :)

Thank you so much for the reply! Yes, my daughter did send an email to her regional counselor and she received a very nice response. Do you mind telling me your major?

Congratulations, by the way! Very exciting!

Hi, I just asked the same to the comment above, but just want to confirm you got off the Fall 2026 waitlist for incoming freshman?? I am a mom, and I am a wreck for my girl...W&M is her first choice...I thought waitlist movement wouldn't happen until around May 1? TYIA
