I am new to all this and desperate to hear from others who know what this is like. My husband who is 54 has just been diagnosed with a Grade 4 Brain Tumour. It has been a total shock as he has been until now fit and healthy. His only symptom has been numbness on his right side of his body. This has been getting progressively worse and now struggles with mobility we have been given prognosis of 12 months. It is inoperable He is a self employed electrician who drives a lot. This has all been suddenly taken away. We have two teenage girls who have been devastated by this. I am falling apart with worry. I can’t even think how we will survive this. On top of this we have just found out his Dad has had a minor stroke and dislocated his shoulder today. Xxxx
