Gumboil - sorry to read the news of your future brother in law. I was diagnosed with a grade III astrocytoma at age 37. I was fortunate and was able to have surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. I would also recommend asking about Avastin as I have seen very good results with tumor control with some 'brain' friends. You are doing the right things - support your sister - emotionally, offering to drive to treatments, making meals, building a community of friends, family and community is most likely the most effective thing you can do. The caregiver burden is another huge item that needs to be addressed. It can be overwhelming for all. One day at a time, one decision at a time, get a second opinion, remain positive, appreciate what life offers regardless of the diagnosis. Reach out for any assistance. We are all here to support and offer a shoulder and an ear.0January 2014
