Yes, this is my immediate family.  One parent and one sibling.[/b][b]  It pisses me off people talking about it like brain cancer is a walk in the pa

The dr's have no idea what causes GBM so how can they say 100% it's not hereditary.  From my research, 5% of cases are hereditary.  There are certain syndromes that lead to BTs but my family does not have those syndromes.  I'm on several GBM message boards and there's a decent amount of people with multiple immediate family members with/died from GBM.  dr's will then say "environment" which I don't buy.  I personally think we are born with it and at some point the cells mutate into it.  Babies have GBM which is why I believe that's the case.

I understand your worry.  You should see my reaction when my child says he has a headache.  Believe me, I would have bet all my $ that I would never deal with GBM again after the first time.  Shocked me and my family.  I wish there were better answers.  I'm so sorry about the loss of your mom.  [/quote]

Thank you for your reply.  You should see my reaction when I can't quite remember something!  I usually have an excellent memory and before we knew what my mom had, she had these really strange lapses in memory/understanding.  I was a very young adult and I was really not ready to be motherless.

Your theory about cells is interesting and I have heard it before.  I feel like right after my mom was diagnosed and when she died (just a little over a month span), I was trying to piece together the mystery and it's so frightening.

I think I will look into those message boards.

I really appreciate the information. I'm sorry for your losses as well.[/quote]
