    Fresh Grief
    My fiancé was diagnosed with GBM in September and he was so set on beating the odds. Frankly he was in denial until the end. December 3 after the chemo and radiation he fell and split his head open. A CT scan found blood clots and he was dead by 12/15. This podcast helps me although it’s hard to listen to sometimes. I’m grateful for all the info as I stagger through all this.

    Thank you 💖
    My mom fought GBM for over 4 years, she lost her battle last year. It’s very difficult to get into grief counseling in our area. But this podcast is my therapy. It’s so validating and comforting 💖

    Thank you
    My mom was diagnosed with GBM last night and I just listened to Laura Dill’s episode and ordered her book. I am at a loss of where to start, so this is my starting point in this journey. Thank you for creating this space. ❤️

    Moving
    As a caretaker for my spouse of 42 years who has endured this cancer, i listened to the last episode and was so moved. She shared her heart and soul with others as many have faced this disease and can relate and find comfort. Her dad lives on among her podcast journey.

    This podcast is a godsend. My father is a GBM warrior, 7 months into this journey. Listening to the host, I feel like I’m chatting with a friend. Best of all she gets to ask all the questions I would love to be able to ask. It’s great to hear from all the various perspectives: the warrior, the family, the doctors. The podcast, in a way, normalizes GBM and makes the diagnosis more approachable. Don’t feel quite so alone in this new mysterious world of GBM. I’ll leave it with a key phrase that stuck with me from one of the episodes… Maintain Hope.
