Sounds like you had the terminal conversation with your oncologist. What is your diagnosis’s and prognosis? Mine was metastatic adenocarcinoma unknown primary (CUP). I just wake up and live the day.

I had that conversation with him day one. I was told without treatment I had 6 months. With treatment 18 to 24 months. So we started treatment. A Glioblastoma is always terminal. The best I can hope for is to slow its growth. But I know eventually treatment might not be enough and I might have to go back into surgery. That is not fun having them dig around my brain. Been there done that have the scar to prove it.
