Hi All, I’m new to all this, ie forums, so bare with me as the brain surgery drilled down a bit close to the tumour so takes me I while to txt ♂️
brief story..4 months ago , i had a seizure out of the blue, and on the back of that I have been diagnosed with a GMB grade 4 tumour which is apparently terminal, .. I’m a positive person and Believe family and friends will help me smash past the general max shelf life that science gives me , and every day since the ‘news’ I live each day as good day with my wife and boy, .
Currently finding hard to communicate via at txt or email , so is there another option where I communicate via a ‘group chat’what’sapp by phone or something where people are in a similar situation
Cheers
Sean
Love that, and your words .same mindset ,so can relate , but on the off day my brain look at 2026 instead of beyond..for example , I wanted to see snow this year and I did this week, but then got a little emotional because I’m looking at it as a last..I need change that and believe it ,on all days …..4 years on for you , amazing
Hi Sean
a warm welcome to the group. So sorry to read about all that has been going on.
I supported my late husband through the 3 years of his GBM journey so can empathise with the journey that you have found yourself on. Very early on G lost the ability to read and used the text to speech function on his pc to have things read to him. I'm not that tech savvy but I suspect that there will be plenty apps out there that convert speech to text. If you give the helpline a call they may be able to suggest something.
