  • Hi Tigertim

    a warm welcome to the group. So sorry to hear about all you've been through.

    I can't comment on what course of action your team will advise, that's a question for them I'm afraid as everyone's situation is unique. This group is filled with really supportive members so hopefully one of them can perhaps shed some light on what you can hope to expect. Did they tell you anything else about what the biopsy showed? 

    My experience is in supporting my husband on his journey but its a primary grade 4 brain tumour he was diagnosed with in early Sept 2020. Following surgery to debulk the tumour he had 6 weeks of oral chemo (TMZ) and radiotherapy. He coped well with it all at the time.

    Sorry I can't offer more reassurance at this time. For now though I'm sending you a huge virtual hug. Stay strong. Stay positive.
