In my previous post I mentioned how my dad had been diagnosed with GBM stage 4 in early November 2010. As of November 3rd he was told he had between 8 to 12 weeks to live without treatment, and that treatment would largely be ineffective. 54 days later, on December 27th, dad passed away on the same [...]
