conoholic,
Yes, Gliobastoma Multiforme is difficult to treat both surgically and with chemotherapy. Many of the symptoms such as mood swings can be related to steroid use. Without knowing more about her overall condition, it's hard to predict her prognosis. As your medical team if they can provide a range. Best wishes,
