Hi everyone I'm new here and never done this before.

My husband who is 55 had his brain tumour removed 10 weeks ago and is meant to start radio and chemo next week. However, we are currently waiting in A&E as he displayed stroke like symptoms and has then had 2 facial seizures. They've CT scanned and the tumour is back at 2.4cm in a different section of his brain but close to previous section. We don't know what the plan is yet. Just more waiting. We expected it to come back and feel like it might not be so big if treatment had started a little sooner. We've been waiting for his treatment to start as a positive and now it feels like the plans might change. I don't now what happens next, except I have to tell our children it's back!

Thank you for reading
