As much as I agree with your sentiment I sincerely doubt she would have lasted even a year with advanced glioblastoma.10_20. years sounds implausible but could have given her a few more precious months or a year or two at best.

I don't doubt she wouldn't have lasted more than 5 years with glioblastoma, but despite that grim prognosis, she could've spent more time with her children had she went with chemo instead of giving birth to a child that wouldn't have lived longer anyways. That what really annoys me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That what really annoys me. The baby could have survived though.The fact it didn't is a wonderful hindsight.Carrie had a seizure and went into cardiac arrest in April so clearly wouldnt have seen out the decade.She could habe at least had a few quality months with her kids before cancer took over.Very sad case all around.
