After rehab she was able to walk and talk again, but unfortunately the poor wee soul caught pnuemonia and has spent the last 3 months in hospital. Before going into a rehabilitation unit we were told that she had swelling on her brain, that was 4 weeks ago and we are waiting for an appointment to start her Chemo. Stevie is coming home next weekend as they cant do anymore for her, she&#39;s very weak and cant walk, her speaking has been affected and she shakes all the time. I cant wait to get her home but im scared as no one has told me what to expect next, i know she&#39;s going to die but im not ready to loose her just yet. I dont know if palliative chemo will benefit her i dont know what to do..........</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=437235&AppID=31179&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermemberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/my_daughter_stevie/posts/angry-all-the-time2010-10-06T09:40:08Z2010-10-06T09:40:08Z<p>I am getting so angry at everyone at work and all the moaning that they do. I want to scream at them and tell them to get a life. I know I am feeling like this because all I do is worry about my daughter. I am going to try Yoga and meditation to see if I can calm down a bit.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=373465&AppID=31179&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermemberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/my_daughter_stevie/posts/my-daughters-brain-tumor2010-10-03T17:20:41Z2010-10-03T17:20:41Z<p>My daughter Stevie was having funny turns for a number years and the doctors were not very helpful. 2 weeks before her 25th birthday she was send for a scan. This showed that she had a brain tumor. She had an operation one week after her birthday to de-bulk the tumor. She came through the operation really well the only side efect was she had lost part of her sight in one eye. The following year the grade 4 tumor had grown and she was sent for a 7 weeks course of radiotherapy. The poor we soul lost all her hair and despite having beautiful wigs she lost a lot of her confidence. She has been doing really well until we had a routine scan this September her tumor has grown again. Because she is feeling ok and has not had any fits the surgeon doesnt want to see her till January 2011. I dont know what the future holds for her but for the next 3 months I will make sure that she has a brilliant time. </p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=372695&AppID=31179&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
