topic Glioblastoma in Coping with a loved one's cancer https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/Coping-with-a-loved-one-s-cancer/Glioblastoma/m-p/32541#M3886 <P>My mum was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma almost 6 years ago. She’s doing amazingly having made it this far but recently started having seizures. She on meds to control it but has lost a lot of confidence. She’s still living independently and I don’t want to take that away from her but she gets so bored and lonely. Watching tv give her headaches and her vision is too bad for reading. I worry her mental health is deteriorating. Is there anyone in this community who has experience living with glioblastomas? Maybe what I can prepare for if she deteriorates&nbsp;</P> Thu, 02 Jan 2020 11:21:34 GMT Kirsty1 2020-01-02T11:21:34Z Glioblastoma https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/Coping-with-a-loved-one-s-cancer/Glioblastoma/m-p/32541#M3886 <P>My mum was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma almost 6 years ago.
