Facing glioblastoma, wellbeing and quality of life rest on several pillars. This is our integral view of accompaniment — medical, nutritional, physical and emotional.
The foundation: surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, clinical trials and research, plus evidence-based complementary resources that support wellbeing.
Our own research project, FASTGBM, lives within this pillar.
Rigorous information on food and glioblastoma — something many families actively look for, and where there is a lot of noise. We want to cover it with evidence.
In the meantime: check with your team and, if possible, an oncology dietitian-nutritionist.
There is growing evidence for the value of adapted exercise in cancer patients: maintaining muscle mass, mobility, energy and mood.
In the meantime: ask your team what activity is safe in your case; oncology exercise programmes exist.
The emotional impact of the diagnosis is huge — for patients and families. Keeping bonds, meaningful activities and psychological support makes a real difference day to day.
These pillars will grow over time, always with rigour and care. If you have knowledge to contribute — in nutrition, exercise or emotional wellbeing — we'd love to build them with you.
