Spouse with glioblastoma

[Socialworkmama]

We are a week into my husband having a mass removed and being told it’s glioblastoma. Amazing recovery from surgery with no neurological deficits and we are so thankful. We are both 55 and our youngest is 12. He’s my best friend and we’ve been together since teens and married 33 years last month. I want to be present while the clock is ticking if that makes sense. I don’t know why I’m posting really, I guess just letting it out

My cousin had surgery for glioblastoma 10 years ago. He's still running marathons.
Take heart ❤️

Wishing your husband a good recovery.

Wow, that is incredibly tough for all of you. It sounds like he is doing well post Operation. Wishing you & him all the best for a good recovery and successful outcome.

I am pleased he is making a good recovery from the surgery. It must all be so stressful for you both Hoping his future treatment goes well.

Thanks everyone
We received some positive news that genetically the tumor is the type that responds to treatment. We have a second opinion next week at a large teaching hospital that will give access to trials etc if the standard of care doesn’t work. DH needs to heal 2 more weeks before anything starts. It’s just such an odd time. We are in our normal routine as we can’t really take any trips etc with all the appointments. I keep feeling like we are wasting time with all this normalcy yet we both love normalcy and don’t know the changes treatment will bring. Just a surreal time

My partner was diagnosed with a brain tumour last year - we have found The Brain Tumour Charity to be really helpful and have both had some counselling through them.

Hi there, my husband also has a GBM, diagnosed in June 25. Really happy to talk either on here or do DM me. It is indeed an incredibly surreal time. Given the diagnosis DH is currently doing very well, and it's difficult to reconcile that with all the information on this.
