Hi Pairunoyd,

I split your message from its original thread because it deserves to be a thread of its own. I also responded to your question about multiple surgeries. I truly am sorry about your sister and now your brother. My mother died of a GBM grade IV. Has your brother's diagnosis been confirmed by a biopsy or is this a diagnosis based on a CT or MRI scan? How much do you know about GBM? Most oncologists' offices have a lot of free basic information booklets. I suggest you learn as much as you can so that you can help your brother and his family.

My thought and prayers are with you and your brother.
