My fil has was diagnosed with a glioblastoma tumour in late August/early September . It is a completely inoperable stage 4 tumour, he is meant to start radiotherapy next week but he has been called to an emergency meeting on Wednesday with his oncologist after he had a detailed pet scan last week to plot his treatment.
We are fully expecting it to be bad news, his cancer is fast growing and in just a month his symptoms have got very bad.
He was given 6-12 months when he was given his diagnosis, but we fear that he might not have that long.
Dh is an only child and we have 3 children who are 6,8 and 10.
We haven't told them yet but we are going to have to and I have no idea how.
I feel lost, fil is only 60 and my children are close to him, they see him two or three times a week as my mil is my child care.
