I just found out on Wednesday evening that my step-dad has Glioblastoma Multiforme, which is the most aggressive form of brain cancer and is most likely malignant. As of now we don't know what grade of cancer it is until we get the biopsy results. The neurologists say that they can't operate on him because his tumor is so large and with the way it has grown it is now considered apart of his brain. And that to operate on it to remove it would more than likely cause more damage than good. They have him on steriods to try and shrink it to a more managable size so that they CAN operate to remove what they can. But he will be on cemo and radiation for a very long time and he'll have to take psycoactive drugs to control his major emotional functions for the rest of his natural life just so he'll stay sane. The only good thing to come out of this is where the tumor is located which is easilly accessible at the front of his brain...But the damage is already done what he's lost he can't get back and he'll be a different person every month even with the drugs. The tumor will continue to grow back. the only hope that we have is that it goes into remission but even then he will never be the same.            I just wanted to let everyone know that way of you don't see me on for a while...
