My husband has had two seizures within the space of two weeks. At hospital he had an MRI on his brain and they have found two tumours and he then had a full body CT scan which revealed rumours in his lungs, stomach and liver. He has just had a PET scan on his lungs and awaiting a biopsy.
Today, he had a mild seizure and refused to go to hospital. (He spent 42 hours sat in a chair awaiting answers last time) He is allergic to steroids and gets psychosis if given.
He is really angry, throwing things around the house refusing any help and support. He is blaming me and states he does not want me. He wants help but lashing out at ones that love him the most. He now just wants to be locked up in a mental health crisis hospital so he doesn't have to worry about anything. This is awful and really making me upset. He says he can't trust me and I'm not helping him.
