If you were surprised by this recurrence then maybe the situation was not described to you very well. The median survival period is 1 year. Having been through this with a family member, the best advice I can give you is to spend as much time with him/her as you can, and to try to prepare yourself the best you can. Yeah, the recurrence rate for GBM in even patients with the best prognosis is extremely high and the 5 year survival rate is probably the lowest out of any primary cancer except maybe small cell carcinoma. Obviously, there are miracle cases out there, but don't get your hopes up too high.
