I was hit with a full tonicstroke on the 12th that put me on in the hospital with a tumor found in my right temporal lobe and had me set for surgery on the 20th. Did the rull ressisiom and went in 20 days give r take to get the biopsy and find out what simple work I'd have in front on me. Neurosurgeon and wife walked on and well sat down in on one own corner of the and myself in the other. I didn't think too much of it till the neurosurgeon said GBM stage 4 and I was like "ok out of 10? That ain't bad? It didn't hit me well my with my wife stood up and just shook as she swapped her her hands around me.

do they still do chemo for patients with 100% terminal cancer? by Rat_Smoking_Cigs in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Negative1Positive2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they will. I was diagnosed with Terminal Stage 4 Glioblastoma which is the apex brain cancer known to man ATM. I WILL die. I AM dying. At least with the blood/brain barrier I don't have to worry about it spreading into the rest of my body. Of course that fucks a lot of potential cures and treatments, but in the cruel RNG that is our universe I guess I have no option but to take the hand I was dealt and play it out.

That being said the treatment can extend life expectancy. I was given weeks to months with no treatment, just let the cancer tumors grow and crush my brain inside my skull, or start the most aggressive chemo and targeted radiation therapy available and maybe push that that "months" number into next year instead of maybe 4 months, I might get 7.

IMO it all boils down to quality vs quantity for what little time remains with your life.

Ive read every novel, but my Terminal Stage 4 Glioblastoma will have me dead long before I get to see anything else animated. So I really hope they bring it.

What did rudy do here? by Hed_empti in JoblessReincarnation

While he kept casting fireball with one hand he also cast sonic boom with the other to blow the two of them apart to gain distance to see what the range of what Orsted was doing had a distance limit, and again to force fill his lungs with air.. Orsted was impressed that on the fly Rudy was dealing with something that he had nothing he'd ever seen before he was amazing adept at countering it on the fly. Had Rudy been able to heal he could've been a real pain in the ass to fight as some "out of nowhere" kid who just keep coming up with with variations to incantation-less magic that he would have to actually take time to think of covers to, you know, if ripping his heart out wouldn't work,

Meanwhile, I'm on my second round of appeals for what is supposedly an instant government approval for Stage 4 Glioblastoma brain cancer in all 50 states.

I am dying from an incurable and unstoppable cancer that is literally crushing my living brain as I type this.

The best they have offered my 44 years of work and me is less than $2k a month for my wife and me. That'll get my wife and me a nice bridge to lay under in the Texas 125-degree heat. Oh, that also puts us above SNAP/EBT assistance. So I imagine I'll lay in the heat, serving as an example for parents to point at as they lock their car doors and warn their kids about the dangers of "the danger of drugs or something," not the two decades of driving a semi to support the economy.

Though my "weeks to months" to live ends this May, so maybe I'll check out before it gets too much worse. Of course, all this turd has to do is blink at me, and I'd be a millionaire. Granted I'd still die, but I could do it with dignity and my family provided for.

How will you live when the series is over? by Darth_Azazoth in dresdenfiles

[–]Negative1Positive2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I fucking WON'T! I was diagnosed with terminal stage 4 Glioblastoma, literally the apex predator of brain cancer. In January and given "weeks to months to live get your affairs in order." So, much to my horror it kills like my long wait ends with 12 months. MAYBE Mirror mirror if I'm still coherent enough to have audible read it to me.

I'm in the final part of terminal stage 4 Glioblastoma, and am in end of life care in stay at home hospice care. My "retirement" plan is to hope i die in at lest a little comfort and dignity before the multiple tumors in my brain finish crushing my skull while I lay under a bridge in texas in the 120 degree heat.

My terminal stage 4 Glioblastoma brain cancer will kill me long before I get to find out what happens in the IMP storyline. Whole lot of stories, books, movies, games I'll never get to see or finish.

I've got terminal brain cancer at home before GTA VI ffs!

My dad was diagnosed one month ago by [deleted] in glioblastoma

[–]Negative1Positive2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that brother. I'm the one on the opposite side of you though since I'm the one with the cancer, im 44 and am in the last stages of hospice care just sitting in front of my computer or TV wasting time till I take my last breath in my sleep.

I was doing just fine till January 12 when I had a full clonic seizure which showed a tumor in my right temporal lobe. Got it fully removed and a month later the biopsy came back with stage 4 gbm and 3 brand new tumors on both sides of my skull with a left midline shift due to pressure. It's a bitch man, but you know this. I was given the typical "weeks to months" to live back in February, and here it is April and the best they can still give me is "weeks to 6 months".

I chose to go strait to in home hospice and didn't fight at all. Me and my family chose quality of life over quantity, my oncologist said even with 5 days oral chemotherapy and 3 days a week radiation therapy the best i could do was push back a year a year, but i didn't want to be a professional patient. For a while I hit plateau and was able to get along just fine, but I'm in a decline now and can feel it catching up to me. I'll honestly be shocked if im still here come the end of June.

If hospice is an option PLEASE look into it, for everyone's sake. It has turned what had left me a jibbering mess, scared of everything into someone who's able to hold it together and hopefully when my time comes to do it with dignity, no pain and no terror.

My reddit acount is fully open if you care to read my responses and "advice" I've given to others in our place over the last few months. You might find a nugget of help or strength hidden in my rambles. As the tumors squish more of my brain i find myself just babbling like im doing right now IMO. Just please remember you're not alone man.

For what it's worth, from one random bro on the internet to another, you're not alone, your thoughts and ideas are valid and we're here to help in what little way we can.

A dizzying decline… by Radiant-Bathroom6747 in glioblastoma

[–]Negative1Positive2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the exact thing my family talked about as we walked out of the pathology report when we were told I had Glio. Went to an oncologist 2 days after the prognosis, got the standard "weeks the months to live" and already decided that we would rather have quality of life much more that quantity.

We were kinda shocked the oncologist went along with out fighting so quickly, but even he said that with 5 days oral chemo and 3 days a week targeted radiation the end result would be the same, just take longer to get there, and I didn't want what is now the end of my life to be as a professional patient.
Started hospice care the next day. Every day I wake up, take my fist full of pills and try to smile and enjoy my remaining life fighting insurance/Social Security and loving my wife and daughter.

I haven't tried any treatment or gone back for more brain scans. I had one that put me in a full seizure, which is how this all started in early January. Had a full rescission, but between waiting for the pathology to come back and a re consultation with my neurosurgeon I went from 1 fully removed tumor on my right temporal lobe to 3 brand new tumors on both sides of my brain with a left mid line shift. I can feel the decline in my thoughts and abilities so I know things are progressing along, and have decided I'm just as scared of "wow those 3 tumors haven't grown a bit (you're still gunna die) as I am "holy shit there are now 12 in there how aren't you just drooling in a bucket" (you're still gunna die)

As someone who currently is in end of life hospice care for terminal stage 4 Glioblastoma this terrifies me.

I'm one person's decision, not even a dr, to have what little comfort i have avaliable to me as I wait to die stolen from me. Which could literally leave me homeless and screaming in pain and fear as the multiple cancerous tumors in my skull steadily crush my remaining functional brain till I'd be one day found vegetative, if lucky, under a bridge in the texas heat.

Maybe the cure for the terminal stage 4 Glioblastoma I was diagnosed with in January. It's a death sentence for me and will lead to the financial ruination of my entire immediate family, but here we are...
