My husband(56YRS) was diagnosed with Gbm  frontal lobe tumour in May last year, he had the tumour debulked, radiotheraapy and is having chemo therapy.Although physically he is quite able at the moment I feel his personality has changed significantly and I feel quite alone in that the husband I knew is no longer here .

  • Thank you for replying. I just think I need to actually hear someone else is feeling like me and I’m not alone with these awful thoughts Broken heartxx

  • Thank you, feeling totally broken Broken heart  We really did have an amazing life together known each other since we’re 3 years old. LOVE OF MY LIFE ALWAYS Heart️Heart️Heart️Heart️

  • My husband passed in March with Gbm he only lived 3 months after the diagnoses so was very quick Broken heart   I’m struggling with the feeling my husband didn’t really care or love me after his biopsy he seemed to be a changed man after.  We were married for 38 wonderful, loving, caring and exciting marriageHeart  We were so devoted to each. 

  • I'm so sorry.

    Life is just a nightmare at times isn't it?

    My brother is so upset and angry most of the time, we never have "normal " conversations any more. I hate to think these are going to be my memories of him.

    I guess in time that these memories will be replaced with good ones.  Your husband's feelings about you never changed I'm sure of that.  It was the tumour that got in the way.

    Thinking of you Two heartsTwo hearts

  • I just received some prompt in my email as this topic is being discussed. I haven't logged on for a long time. 

    I think dealing with the change of personality so hard, and Gbm is really traumatic. From living a quiet life we were thrown into this suffering.

    We need to take comfort in love shared which was real and focus on those memories. It's not easy, and I just muddle through as we all do with the highs and lows of love and loss.

    Sending hugs to all and thanks for sharing as I know I am not alone xxxx
