Hi I'm new to this group. My husband was diagnosed with a brain tumour last November. He was admitted to hospital in August after he started to have seizures again, the tumour has now spread rapidly since his last MRI scan in May and is now high grade, we have been told he only had months left to live, the tumour cannot be operated on due to where it is located and he will shortly be starting radiotherapy treatment. It had been such a shock to us and I feel so sad and scared what is going to happen to him in the coming months
HI Flowergirl1
a warm welcome to the group. So sorry to hear about your husband. Life's too cruel.
I can empathise with where you are at. My husband was diagnosed in Sept 2020 with a stage 4 brain tumour. They were able to operate and debulk his tumour then he had 6 weeks of oral chemo/radiotherapy. He coped really well with that without any real side effects other than fatigue.
