I was DX with an inoperable GBM Grade 4 in Dec of 2021. Currently on Avastin (bevacizumab) every 3 weeks with hydration weekly. Tumor is stable at last MRI.

Living with a stable GBM diagnosis brings so many questions about the future, and it's completely understandable to wonder about timeline and prognosis. While every person's journey with brain cancer is unique and depends on many individual factors that only your medical team can fully assess, having stable scans is encouraging news worth celebrating. Many community members find it helpful to focus on quality of life, connecting with loved ones, and taking things one scan at a time while staying in close contact with their oncology team about their specific situation and outlook.

How are you doing, my husband has GBM, we tried radiation and chemo pill for three weeks but he has no quality of life so we are being switched over to Avastin every 2 weeks. Did you have any side affects? Did you take radiation with it?
