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

    • Hello Donna. Sorry to hear what your husband is going through. Its a tough diagnosis, happened to me last July.  First thing I did was the practical side, will, power of attorney, dnr and funeral plan. 
      the not driving is dreadful, although Ive been able to keep working. Others will be along with advice from the family point of view I am sure. Take care.
