    Your videos have helped me thru our journey. My husband had 3 seizures Dec 26, 2023, at 64.. Dx confirmed Jan 05,2024. Non operable multi tumors Glioblastoma 21:44 (mf). Our child is 17, graduating hs May 20. Your recount is my life right now, to a “T”. We have been in Hospice for one month already, and we haven’t been aware of the disease for only 4 months, with the end being so near.thank you for being so open and honest because that is my life, right now…

      Why aren't they giving out the new breakthrough treatment to these cancer patients?

      @@syzygy4365 I believe it’s all about where you seek treatment, Mayo Clinic for instance is a better bet.

    I cried when I heard of the iPhone and nearly again of when I heard of his gratitude. What you say at the start about grief is true. When something happens, it's almost unreal. You don't really get it at first. You know it occurred, but the weight and extent doesn't necessarily hit you until you've had a brief moment to rest and acknowledge that that person will never be in your life again. I could really feel that about your father to you. Godspeed, man.

    My dad was just diagnosed with butterfly glioblastoma. It's in his frontal lobe. He's not exactly him anymore and he wants to try treatment. I am terrified.
    We watched my mom suffer 6 years ago when she was terminal.
    I don't know how to find the strength to watch my other parent suffer.

    My grandma told me a story about when she was little and her dad died and she couldn't quit crying her Aunt Hattie told her that she had to because her dad's sack of Tears in Heaven were too heavy for him to keep caring just thought I'd share
