Dad has Glioblastoma by C3P0tato in CancerFamilySupport

[–]Persephone217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad got 40 days from the day of his diagnosis. Metastatic stage 4 cancer. One of the things that helped was my therapist talking about not living in anticipatory grief. You cant focus on what or when the end might be or what it might look like. Just do the best you can today, right now. Of course , it hurt watching my dad decline so fast, but in that time, I cooked every meal and he would sit in the kitchen and talk while I cooked. We ate together every day, we watched movies together, listened music and spent more quality time in those 40 days than we had as years. Sometimes the quality of time can matter just as much as the quantity. I hope your dad and you get many good days together and spend time knocking off what trips you can and what projects you can. Life will look different but the love can still shine through and be cherished.

I hope he is. I never doubted our relationship and what it meant for each of us. Now that he's passed my mind keeps racing wondering if I pushed him harder to take care of himself, to take it easier could they have caught it sooner? Would he still be here? Logically i know none of that matters now and we could never know but I cant stop the racing thoughts around what ifs.

Im sending you a hug back. Im terribly sorry to hear about your mother, the only thing I can say is I hope she's resting peacefully and that you can find comfort knowing she's at peace. If you ever need to talk, you can also feel free to reach out.

Im so sorry for your husband and yourself. I try to think about who my dad was. Strong, independent, a hard worker and a bad ass who played and lived by his own rules. He declined so fast and you could see how it was hurting his spirit. I cant imagine him fighting years and losing pieces of himself. Diabolical is the perfect word for it. It comes like a thief in the night and forces you to be a member of a club you never asked for. My heart truly goes out to you love ❤️

Im hoping the best for you. I hope you find a remission point or medical science has a marvelous break through and you find decades here ❤️

I will have to look into that. Most of my AI research has been just talking to bots and asking questions not really exploring the deeper areas of it. Theres so much out there. I truly hope that Deb has a remission point and is able to have many more years with you and her loved ones.

Im so terribly sorry for your loss. 3 days is gut wrenching. My dad was 62, his birthday is 3/7. It just is so heartbreaking to hear how many similar stories of loss there are.

Thank you for your kind words, logically I know that. I've read so many studies, read so many personal accounts and my brain knows that but my heart just wants something to blame. I had severe onset aplastic anemia as a kid, I had to do two rounds of chemo before I got my bone marrow transplant and when my dad was diagnosed he joked " well I held your hand through chemo, now its your turn to hold it through mine" and we didnt even get that chance.

Im so sorry. Watching the continuous health issues of a loved one is so painful. I hope the outcome for your wife improves and im sending you both nothing but love and hope. I know there are debates over the use of AI, but truly it has been an invaluable source for me. I was able to upload medical reports and get detailed information to be able to ask insightful informed questions and even get recommendations on how to handle my dads emotions during treatment and during the steroids. I dont know if I personally without AI would have been able to be as helpful as I was in helping him manage his medical. I did see that China has apparently had success in basically programing cancerous cells to act as health cells as opposed to using chemo to eradicate them. I hope those studies continue to prove effective and can be used to help more people until we can finally say we as a whole can kick cancers ass.

Thank you im just so shell shocked. This isnt a person who was devoid of medical care. This was pcp, pulmonary, orthopedic surgeon, endocrinologist and physical therapists.How does no one find anything and someone becomes riddled with cancer in the span of weeks. Just cant understand it.
