I feel for you. My dad was on the less side of that, having died just shy of three months from onset of symptoms. The tumor was located in a region called the thalamus, they said in all likelihood they would never be able to resection it without causing more problems than just leaving it be and sticking to chemo.. not that it mattered in the end, the chemo compromised his immune system and he perished to fungal pneumonia.

Personally, if this ends up being my fate, I'm doing it the way Brittany Maynard did. Throw a good party while I'm still of sound mind and exit on my own terms.
