Gliosarcoma at 18

Hi, I just wondered if anyone else was dealing with a younger adult with a brain tumour. My daughter has just turned 18 in May and we are on week 2 of treatment, radiotherapy and chemo. 

I feel lost as to best help her, currently her biggest struggle is the puffiness from the steroids. Trying to reduce them to 2mg this week, down from 4mg. 

 

Thanks
