Hello All,
My boyfriend was diagnosed with a low grade glioma December 2021. He 'fell through the net' and didn't recieve any comms from his surgeon for 5 weeks from his original telephone call with the consultant confirming his tumour. In January the surgeon said he would have an operation in March and be 'back to normal' by spring. He said the tumour was good and in a good location.
Fast forward, my partner had his op on 27/06/22. 7 months after his diagnosis. His op went well and he is recovering. The surgeon removed all of the tumour. On doing this, the surgeon has confined the tumour is infact grade 3 and therefore cancerous. To say I am absolutely livid deep down would be an u understatement. All the scans up until the op proved no progression or development. Now I sit here and wonder if the op had happened earlier, would the tumour had its chance to grow cancerous? Now my partner has to go through chemo and radiotherapy in a few weeks.
Is 7 months too long to wait for an op of this severity??
