Glioblastoma

For that past few weeks, Indonesia has been rocked by news of its comedian, Agung Hercules who has become sick from a rare type of brain cancer called the glioblastoma. He is more known for his antics, his looks of bulging muscles to long, free-flowing hair. Unfortunately he has been struck with stage IV brain cancer that has been growing in his left brain.

Glioblastomas are malignant stage IV brain cancers. The condition is quite serious for the patients as most of the symptoms are quite undetected, leading most to believe the condition may not be as serious as it may be. Afterwards, the patient will generally feel a terrible onset of symptoms, leading to the doctor’s diagnosis of a glioblastoma. However, that is not to say that the symptoms are undetected:

Symptoms of glioblastoma includes

  • Persistent headaches
  • Double or blurred vision
  • Vomiting
  • Loss of appetite
  • Changes in mood and personality
  • Changes in ability to think and learn
  • New onset of seizures
  • Speech difficulty of gradual onset

If anyone you know are experiencing these symptoms or having such terrible headache until fainting, be aware as these symptoms might lead to a diagnosis on cancer. Paying attention to these symptoms might even save a life. Or else, get a second opinion whenever you are having a combination of these symptoms.
