After low grade slow growing brain tumour removal, as much taken away as possible, 3 weeks ago, we have now been told, yesterday, this has how progressed to the above. Further Treatment will now be chemo and radiotherapy, feeling very scared.
HI
sorry to hear about all that's going on. It's only natural to feel scared and its ok to feel scared too at this point. Our emotions are what makes us human.
My late husband had 6 weeks of oral chemo/radiotherapy in combination and coped really well with it. The main side effect he suffered with was fatigue which kicked in around week 4 and lasted for a month after the treatment ended. He was up and about every day though. At the start his CNS prescribed a strong anti-sickness drug and told him to take it for the first week to help his body adjust to the TMZ tablets. He did and throughout he was never actually sick so I guess they helped.
