My husband Jason was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma Wildtype Multiform in November 2024. He subsequently had surgery to remove as much of the tumour as possible followed by Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy. Glioblastoma tumours always return either in the same site or elsewhere in the brain and the prognosis without further research for most people is poor.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a fast-growing, aggressive, and deadly brain tumor that develops from glial cells, the brain and spinal cord's support cells. It's the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults, but can occur at any age. There is currently no cure for this cancer. Treatment is challenging for suffers as the tumour extends throughout the brain. This makes it difficult for diagnostic tests such as MRI’s to detect its growth.

Glioblastoma can happen at any age. But it tends to happen more often in older adults. Glioblastoma symptoms may include headaches that keep getting worse, nausea and vomiting, blurred or double vision, trouble speaking, altered sense of touch, and seizures. There also may be trouble with balance, coordination, and moving parts of the face or body.
