What Is The Life Expectancy Of Someone With Glioblastoma Grade IV?

My husband has glioblastoma stage iv. He had surgery in Aug and they removed 98% of turmor, but even with that they said he would have 4 to 14 months if we did a course of radiation and chemo. We are thru that now...but I am seeing he deteriorating quite quickly all of a sudden and I am wondering how I will know when we are near the end?

hi,
I understand all of your concerns and it is needed chemio + radiotherapy through the course of the disease.
During this time there are ups and downs of his general condition but there will be a time when he keeps deteriorating.

Through all this i would have prefered for you to have some medical assistance helping you through it.

I don't know if this helped, please feel free for any other question.
