My wife has a grade 4 Brain tumour. Was told she would have 6 weeks - 2 months. She's starting to slowly deteriorate now

I've been looking after my dear wife after being told she has a brain tumor grade 4 from November but they sound it in sept,after months of tests ,scans, biopsy they told us in November they could not fix it and gave her 6 weeks to 2 months to live!a great shock to us all,now 4 months have past my wife is slowly deteriorating sadly and I feel like we are playing a waiting game!she's bed bound can only use her left arm now,as much as I love her,I feel what we have been told as in prognosis is not right as in they should not tell people,I do treasure my time with her and we have talked more in the last six months then ever before,but I feel for her that this is not right,having a brain tumor is one thing being told about time limits is another my wife's asks me when? ,how long?it seems by telling us it plays in the mind of expectation when if how etc...we just don't know!

  • I'm so sorry to hear about your wife Peter.

    I can't begin to imagine what you have both been through over the last 6 months, and how difficult it must be to watch and support your wife in the latter stages of her diagnosis, but I want you to know that the Cancer Chat community are here for you and I'm sure some of our members will be along soon to offer you their support and advice.

    I know there is nothing I can say or do that can make this any easier, but I hope you can take some strength, and comfort, from knowing that you are not alone and that we are all thinking of you at this very challenging time.

    Kind regards,
