My mother in-law was diagnosed with GBM in November 2010. She has been in the hospital ever since. They removed 60% of the tumor, she did chemo for 6 weeks but couldn t finish because her blood count was low. She developed pneumonia a week ago and is on a breathing machine. She is being fed through an IV. Her left side has not functioned since November. She can t really speak anymore and has been confused since the beginning. She was given 6 to 12 months. It s been 3. What can we expect next? Can the pnemonia cause her to die? How much longer can her brain and body hold up?
