Hi I'm new on here, I've recently had 90% tumor removed and only finished my first stage of radiotherapy and chemotherapy this week, the last few weeks as been tiring and as all happened so very fast I don't know if I'm coming or going, the only thing I will do try and say is to stay positive and enjoy everything 

  • Hi Lec.  I am new here as well.  Your attitude will serve you well and you are right, just enjoy everything.  I remember waking up from my surgery and just breathing in the air, that's it, just that felt incredible.  Stay positive and take care.

  • Thank you and you too, a positive attitude and only doing happy things is the way forward

  • HI Lec

    a warm welcome to the online community. So sorry to hear about all that you've been through recently. It's totally understandable that you don't know if you are coming or going.

    I supported my husband through his GBM journey and can honestly say that I believe a positive attitude to life really does make a difference here. (You can read our story in my profile- I'll not bore you with it here). It takes time to come to terms with the diagnosis itself and to recover from the surgery and treatment. Don't underestimate how much that has taken out of you. Be patient with yourself. It took G at least a month after the 6 weeks of treatment ended to find some kind of normal energy levels again.
