Hi

I was wondering if anyone else out here can relate?

Menigoma grade 3. Surgery done. A small percentage left behind so there is radiotherapy on the agenda. But after much thought (partner) will be monitored.

Anyone else going through similar?

Many thanks 

  • Hi bee1956

    a warm welcome to the group. Sorry to hear about all that's been going on. 

    There's a diverse group within this community so I am confident that someone in a similar situation will reach out soon with their words of wisdom. My personal experience lies in supporting my late husband through a stage 4 glioblastoma journey so a different journey to the one you are on. G did have radiotherapy and to be honest coped really well with it. HIs biggest complaint throughout the six weeks was that the nurse squashed his nose every day when the mask went on. The only side effect he suffered from was fatigue which started after about 4 weeks and lasted for about a month after the treatment finished.

  • Hi, my husband is going through exactly the same thing. He had his operation 6 weeks ago and starts his radiotherapy tomorrow (30 treatments in total). He's feeling really well at the moment and very positive. He seems to be dealing with it better than me. Hope you get your treatment plan soon.
