Hoping that someone can help me with a problem I have having at the moment. I started seeing a lovely guy.
He recently told me he has an incurable brain tumor, he said the type was COED and it was an unusual type that a small number of people in the world had. He is attending the neurosurgery department in hospital and having it monitored with regular MRI scans, has had 4 surgeries to have it removed but because of its location in his cerebellum at the back of his head, it cannot all be taken away due to possibly cutting into good brain tissue. He told me he suffers from seizures, has to keep his head elevated at all times particularly at night-time with pillows etc. and can pass out at times. Each time he has surgery, he is put on a course of steroids and has problems with sense of time and it takes up to 2 months to recover.
Does anyone know what the prognosis of this type of brain tumor is ? I have tried looking it up on the internet but there are so many types, I don't know what to think.
Once he told me, he has cut contact with me and I don't know how to handle this situation and having a difficult time with it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
