xxblushesxx -> glioblastoma (1/16/2009 9:46:46 PM)

It's the worst form of brain cancer there is.
Some nicknames for it are "the terminator" and "the great white shark"
People who have it can suffer terribly from pain, seizures, and other problems.
It sends "tentacles" through the brain, and there is no way (at this time) to stop it.
Dad had seizures, and lost some movement on his left side.
He had all kinds of other symptoms too, but luckilly, not alot of pain.
He passed away Monday evening.
I believe that it was caused by something he was exposed to in Vietnam, but there is no proof at this time.
There has never been any cancer in our family.
I am thankful that he did not suffer as much as some who have this disease suffer.
It still sucks though.
