Histopathology Brain--Glioblastoma multiforme

"...a couple of dark nasty ones" .

My mom is on hospice right now, we found her tumor last year on July 4th, and she had successful treatment but it came back a few weeks ago, it has grown and spread so quickly that the doctors cant do anything, she is 52 and her birthday is in september but she may not make it until then, now she is at home being comfortable as much as she can, her left side is useless so she can't do anything by herself, it's been real tough but we are getting through it

Brain cancer is one of the nicest types of cancer, imo.

[MeetDarlingNikki]

Wondering if CMV is present as well?

I'm sorry to everyone commenting on here who has had the misfortune of having gained knowledge of this through personal experience.

[ChurtaBiH]

My grandmother was diagnosed with a glioblastoma towards the end of November of 2009. At the time of diagnoses, it was rougly the size of the bottom of a 12oz soda can. She passed away in early March of 2010. This was a very quick growing tumor, with very little chance of survival.

Could those big, dark ulgy cells be CMV due to virus. Excellent Video. Thanks. This is so informative. What a blessing, to be able to be at home and learn, learn, learn from beautiful histology sections.

FUCK Glioblastoma, I watched my dad dying day after day.. turning from a nice and cheerful genius electronic engineer to dead body during 2 years.

sudden seizures used to freak me out not knowing what to do, sometimes he became aggressive and smashed whatever is near him.

slowly lost his body functions, judgment, thinking... etc

had to carry him to rest room and clean, carry him to hospitals and watch him suffer.

until he died painfully in front of my eyes..

I hate you god.

@edukee I´m so sorry about your dad.... Your story is the copy of the horror story of my dad... The only difference - we have got only 6 month.... R.I.P. all victims of glioblastoma!!! Sorry for my wrong English :)

[tinozman]

@edukee I'm so sorry for you. My gentle mother has just been diagnosed with this disease. I do not believe in God...less now...

[ChurtaBiH]

@edukee i think only God can give this desease, couse there is no proven cause. my sister is only 19 and i see her dying every day.

[AbuZamaan]

@ChurtaBiH oh no she's only 19!!! if god wants this then he should change his ways of messing with humans!

I am really sorry for your sister she's still young to face the horrors of cancer, younger people have higher hopes of surviving this evil I really wish her full recovery.

it's bad that all the people I know who died in cancer used to be the nicest and had the purest heart and never deserved this.

Thanks for the necrosis comment :) You do explain things quite well

[aldivadarlin]

We celebrated my brother's 49th Birthday Celebration, after having his second brain tumor removed on January 23, 2010. My brother still has very high spirits and believes he will live to be age 65 or older, has repeatedly told us about the "visios" God has given him, to see his grandchildren play one day!

[Sithisnight]

@aldivadarlin

@aldivadarlin ,

Thats awesome. My wifes dad was diagnosed 3 days ago after he had a seizure while driving alone he flipped his car. 3 months ago he had a full scan and there was nothing in a matter of 3 months it went from nothing to the size of a golf ball.

[OTarO86]

Am i correct understanding that gliosis can be (or usually) found around the tumor ?

[WashingtonDeceit]

yes

gliosis is a NON-specific CNS response and is seen in ALL kinds of brain pathology, trauma, inflammation, neoplasm

[saif711]

Thank you very much , the necrosis remark IS brilliant as its not that much stressed upon in some texts.

[MasterMead]

Great submission, really nice use of medical imaging, gross and microscopic preparations to explain this condition. Easily one of your better videos!

[mtpahmm]

You are great man.

I like the way you explain.

please continue.

[Melangnolia]

Horror has a name: Glioblastoma muliforme.

Or synonyme: game over!

Take the rest of your time to say good bye to your family and friends and don't believe in doctors that tell you nothing than fairytales about healing. There is none! Don't let them give you toxic chemicals to take the quality of your last and final days!

[thibaulthalpern]

Aren't all of the treatments for this tumour palliative? Healing isn't the only concern of medicine. Palliative care is also, so when a patient is diagnosed as having something terminal like GBM, palliative care (which can include radiation and chemotherapy) is helpful for both patient and family.

By the way, we all begin this life with a message that it will eventually be "game over". It's called mortality. You have it, I have it, we all have it.

[aldivadarlin]

My brother has been battling Glioblastoma Multiforme, since July 7, 2008, upon which he fell into a seizure. It was discovered he had a brain tumor locatedon his left side. after reving the original tumor.. He then FORBID any of the family to show emotion, mention the "C" word, and continued to claim his healing. He had his secod brain tumor removed two weeks ago, already half his brain is white mass and he still is claiming his "healing."

My brother will be 49 in two weeks,

@Melangnolia There is an article about a 25 year old Evan Ross who was diagnosed with grade IV GBM and was given a 2% chance of survival. He underwent high dose chemo along with 2 stem cell transplants along with alternative and complementary medicine such as accupunture and beat the odds. He now has doctors from famous research hospitals referring some patients for accupuncture. You can read the article if you google glioblastoma and accupuncture. It is on a website called ivanhoe.

[ChurtaBiH]

@Melangnolia unfortunately, u r so right. my sister had surgery year ago, and about 40 days ago she got sick and now she is in hospital. she cant speak, eat, drink, cry, im not so sure she can hear us at all. she will be 20 years old in may. sad.

and what is really unfair, she came through everything, surgery, radio therapy, i shaved her head, her hair grown again, but i didn't know nothing what was her diagnose, my parents didn't tell me. and i didn't want to know,. maybe it was the best for me

[huwahahiya]

@Melangnolia When the head and brain are well aligned, you will gain energy back and clear thinking will come back. We have treated Lissencaphaly, severe head injuries, autism, brain stroke. We have happy clients. Doctors don't know how to treat these conditions. Never give up. You can totally recover and enjoy your life to old age.

@Melangnolia I have survived gbm stage 4 not once but twice. I have been 8 years clear and as healthy as an ox (cliche i know). I was first diagnosed at age 10 and then re-diagnosed at age 11. I was given a mere 3 months to live after my 2nd diagnoses...8 years ago!!!! Search "David Fitting glioblastoma" on google to read more about my journey.
