He actually expressed relief when doctors first said they suspected a brain tumor because as he put it "I thought I was going crazy." This was before they discovered it was the deadliest of brain tumors with the worst possible outcome. <BR/><BR/>He suspected something was up, but his symptoms were vague...a little clumsiness, some memory problems that he attributed to stress etc. He was diagnosed in July after open and close surgery and died in August, three weeks later. Slipped into a coma two weeks after the surgery. It was stunning and shocking...the diagnosis and the speed in which it killed him. The cell doubling time of some gliomas can be very fast, so by the time the tumor causes symptoms, it doubles its already huge size in a very short period of time.<BR/><BR/>It was shocking at the time but in retrospect, his quick death was almost merciful...he was spared from enduring the horror and pain. He was cognitive and functioning until the day before the coma.Marliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920353129039798997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-11783972012146152272008-07-10T22:55:00.000-07:002008-07-10T22:55:00.000-07:00Brian, she might not be that far gone. Friend of m...Brian, she might not be that far gone. Friend of mine passed away from a glioblastoma - truly awful way to go. There was supposedly very little pain, but her cognitive functions did deteriorate. A couple months before she died she was out and about doing things but the medications made her extremely dizzy, she needed a lot of help walking. The steroids made her face puff up. And she would frequently struggle to find the right words to speak. Sometimes she would mix up words without even realizing it. For instance she would ask me how my kids were. Well she knew I didn't have any kids, she was referring to my nieces and nephews, she just couldnt find the words to ask that correctly. she was forgetful and sort of off in her own world sometimes. That's the horror of this kind of tumor. It can take away your mind before your body. But it also really depends on exactly where in the brain the tumor is located.agnostic monkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365480481563425308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-61081740772564559032008-07-09T13:06:00.000-07:002008-07-09T13:06:00.000-07:00Hi there Heaven !

Right on Deadwood. <BR/><BR/>I was going to say the same thing Deadwood, lol, but I actually am really digging the pictures.<BR/><BR/>Is that the original door at the "new" house at Cielo ? <BR/><BR/>Or is that the original door at another house somewhere ? <BR/><BR/>Or is that even the original door ?<BR/><BR/>It's been close to a month of that 2-3 months for Susan Atkins hasn't it ? <BR/><BR/>I don't know anything about brain cancer other than the obvious and I really don't have the "want to" to look it up, but, at this stage of the cancer is she still able to speak or understand ?<BR/> <BR/>Or does she not even know who she is or who anyone is or what anything is anymore ?<BR/><BR/>The reason I am wondering is because if she were released would she even know it ? <BR/><BR/>Of course the family(her real family)would all rejoice, but, I don't know if she would even realize she was out.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the update Col !Brian Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00846299736165215660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-85066686125039916342008-07-08T15:09:00.000-07:002008-07-08T15:09:00.000-07:00This is for Brian:P:P .Great post Col thank youThis is for Brian:P:P .<BR/>Great post Col thank youdeadwoodhbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08833243029692385071noreply@blogger.com
