New to forum - looking after husband

Hi. I'm new to the forum. I'm looking after my husband who has a brain tumour. He finished radiotherapy 6weeks ago. He is sleeping most of the time and has no interest in anything. Has anybody encountered this?

  • Hello Jeanna and welcome to the forum.

    It's great to hear your husband was able to have radiotherapy to treat his brain tumour although I'm sorry for the worry his current behaviour is causing.

    Tiredness can be a common side effect of radiotherapy but if you're worried do be sure to discuss this with his cancer team or GP. Our team of cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m if you'd like to speak to them about this as well.

    Many of our members have been in similar situations so you are not alone and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their thoughts and advice.

    In the meantime, we're thinking of you and wishing your husband all the best with his recovery.

    Kind regards,
