Hi, just thought id ask how your daughters going? My sister has a gbm - she is 30 years old.

Although I've been working with computers since 1995, this type thing - chat rooms, etc., are all alien to me. I'm floating here. Really, what I need to know is, how does a guy get through watching his most beloved slowly die from GBM? If I believe doctors, this Christmas will not be a happy one. But I'm also looking into alternative treatments - organic - tailored to her blood type, etc., but still, the big sword dangles over our heads - 6 months! Best thing is there should be no pain involved for my darling. I'm a mess, and I also have to look out for her 86 year old mother and brain damaged brother (motorcycle accident). This is killing me and it isn't that I don't think I'll survive, I do not want to survive past my darling's passing. No, I won't take my life or anyting like that, just that for me, it will be over. Elective catonia? I am not an emotiional type guy, but this is killing me from the inside. I'm pllunging into the black hole - can anyone tell me there's still a world on the other side?

It looks like you are doing very well. My husband was diagnosed 4 years ago with a GBM. He had a relatively fine 3 1/2 years. Dealing with side effects from the different chemo and radiation treatment. Just keep on going. The Beck family will root you on.
