GBM

My husband age 44yrs have been diagnosed with gbm in right temporal lobe in November 2014. He was doing fairly well but our last scan in August 2016 showed probably recurrence according to our neurosurgeon but when I showed it at Tata hospital for second opinion they said it is treatment related change. He had fists on 10th September 2016 after which he is not able to walk or get up on his own. He also doesn't have any sensation for passing urine as a result wets himself. Can you all guide me as to what to do and which doctor to follow I am very confused. Thanks more

Thankyou for your good guidance,I will also follow. more  
We clutch at any hook thrown at us. Please go back to Tata andtell them the symptoms and ask for another opinion from another doctor.there. more  
Swati, Please make an appointment with a different neurosurgeon, or better yet, with a neurology group at a different hospital. Sometimes, doctors, like all of us, only see what we expect to see. Having said that, the only dilemna would be if the second opinion differed from both of the ones you already have. If I understand you correctly, the neurosurgeon says the last scan shows a recurrence and Tata hospital says it is only a treatment related change. A recurrence, to me, means it is getting bigger, a treatment related change, to me, would mean it is getting smaller. However your husband's condition would indicate a change for the worse. I think, and this is only my opinion, that I would be guided by your neurosurgeon. Talk it over with him. Explain what you were told by the Tata hospital doctor. Ask him to show you the results of the last two scans, at a minimum. Don't let the surgeon say it would only confuse you, or it is not permitted. In America we say "show me the money." In other words, show me what you are talking about. Ask a lot of questions. What is this formation, what is that? Ask him: "where do we go from here?" The more educated you are about this whole thing, the better able you will be to help your husband. Sometimes the information can be very scary, so you need the best possible source. I would try: www.webmd.com. This is the site that one leading research hospital uses for information. The site is readable, meaning lay people, not just doctors, can understand it. This all being said, I know that you love your husband and want only the best for him, meaning the right treatment and the best quality of life that is possible. Unfortunately the best treatment and quality of life can still lead to death. So perhaps you should also ask about hospice or comfort care. The surgeon may say hospice is not yet indicated. So then you talk about the next step in the treatment plan. I would imagine that your husband was in Tata hospital because of the seizures on September 10th. The hospital doctor pulled up the August scan to see what was going on. Take a trusted friend or family member with you when you talk to the neurosurgeon because two people will take in more information than just you alone. I'm sure you are fearful for your husband and for yourself and your family. He is still young. Hopefully some of that youthful vigor will work for him. In any case, being educated will help you make better decisions for your husband, your family, yourself and your collective futures. more
