My husband is under the care of the Palliative team currently in week 16 since diagnosis. He is asleep most of the time but started seeing people cats and dogs occasionally but now the house has people in every room.  All day yesterday he was talking as if he wasn’t in his own house but in a holiday house we once stayed in. I was wondering if the hallucinations were a normal thing ??? 

  • Hi, I wonder if your husband’s tumour is in the front lobe? My dad’s was, and he hallucinated quite a bit. He once tried to climb out of the window, as he thought he was escaping from somewhere. But generally they were happy nostalgic hallucinations like your husband’s. 

    My tumour is in the left temporal lobe so I only hallucinated once during my first seizure. When it happened, I was working on an old photograph, and I hallucinated being in the photo (sadly it was of a Liberal Party Conference in the 70s, and very dull!) 

    I’m sending a big hug to you and your husband HeartHeart
