Thank you. High school boyfriend was diagnosed a week before his 18th birthday. He was death within 3 months. Five years (even one) would have meant the world to me and his family.

So young. We usually see men in their mid 30s, but I remember hearing that if a patient is diagnosed younger than that: it can be very aggressive.

I’m so sorry to hear that he passed so quickly after diagnosis. Our patients usually had 10-12 months depending on how quickly their GBM was caught, and their immune response to treatment. Many patients had maybe 6 months to arrange and prepare for the patients death.. so I truly cannot imagine having only 90 days to prepare for the unpreparable.
