Hi there I got diagnosed back in November of 2022 at the age of 31

with a grade 4 glioblastoma. In the last few months I find myself struggling more and more with my mental health. I’m not the same person I used to be I’m fed up of being tired and in pain all the time and the constant guilt I feel as people I care about and love have had to put there lives on hold because of me.

I want nothing more than to feel as normal as possible again but I don’t know what to do. I hate to admit it but I have had thoughts that the world would be a better place without me in it anymore.

31, that’s so young to have a condition like this - I really feel for you. I was diagnosed around the same time as you with a Grade 4 astrocytoma (previously called a glioblastoma), and at 54 I’m balancing the tumour with menopause which is grim.

did you have a craniotomy, chemo, radio? That’s awful that you’re in pain - is it headaches or something else? Do you want to talk about it?

I’ve always struggled with anxiety so I understand some of the dark thoughts you’re having. But if you have friends you care about and love, then they must feel the same about you, and losing you would not make the world a better place for them. Sorry if I’m rambling,I just want to give you a huge hug, and I’m sending love xxxx
