My grandmother was diagnosed with brain cancer when she was 80. She's 85 now and still kicking. He's got a chance.

brain cancer =/= brain cancer

I read up on glioblastoma and the prognosis for this type is extremely bad, because it's growing rapidly and invasively, meaning a good amount of it's cells are invading healthy tissue and regrow the tumor there after the main tumor is surgically removed

if your grandmother has the same type of cancer she is part of just 4% of >50yo patients that live that long with it (and that's only for patients where removal of the main tumor was an option and had good results - without surgery just 1% are alive after 3 years)
