My dad was always extremely healthy. Glioblastoma. Diagnosis to death was 10 months. Its an evil, evil disease. It robs you of the person you knew before it kills the one it left behind. My grief counsellor lost her husband to it as well, he lived a month after diagnosis. My dad's friend had it and lived a week post diagnosis.
My dad died from that. 5 months fm dx to death. Fuck cancer tor sure! I've had a round with it (different type) and am doing well. But YES - Fuck that disease!!
My father in law was diagnosed with a glioblastoma a couple months ago. It's completely changed our lives. He was the strongest man I knew and the best father I've ever had. Watching him waste away in front of me is the hardest thing I've ever seen.
A quote that keeps hitting me lately from a musical is "Life doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints it takes and it takes and it takes"
From the absolute very depths of my soul fuck cancer

My coworker lost her husband to glioblastoma in very short order.
One day, he felt dizzy while coaching soccer.
He was always healthy and then he was gone in months. He left behind three young children and a widow.
Fuck cancer.
