The Biopsy results :-(
I'm just so, so, sorry to hear this, what terrible news. Hugs,

Doogie told me today that the biopsy shows borderling GBM. Glioblastoma Metaforme is the worst kind you can get. The usual life span after this is 3-6 months. Since it is borderline, it should be longer, but not by much. I'm not surprised by the diagnoses. I was expecting to get bad news. I'll have to love him all the more for the time I've got with him. Damn it. No one should have to go through this. Rob is feeding himself today. Even with his problems, he still eats more neatly than I do when I'm healthy. Part of the problem is that Rob doesn't like to get help when he needs it. Just now, he had a problem, wet himself, stripped himself down to the bare bones and was trying to get a new gown and dress himself. Both the nurse and I were shocked and amused at the same time. Dr Ewend is out west doing dr things, so will talk to us when he gets back next week. We can't do much of anything until we get the siezures stopped. Then it will go on from there. I'm sorry that it isn't good news group, but at least Rob will be taken care of for the time he has left. Pam S. |

Pam, what does "borderline" mean in this case? Does that mean they're
not sure, or that it's changing into GBM? I hope Rob is feeling better and keeps up his stubborn streak. I'm sure that will help him in the long run. I also hope he'll be able to choose a different time frame and you have a lot of time left with him.
