Husband diagnosed with a Malignant Brain Tumour

My husband has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour which has spread from oesophageal cancer he had a couple of years ago.

There is only one tumour near the temple on the right side which is approx 2.5 cm. 

He will see a consultant on Wednesday, 28th May and they are going to operate.

It is so scary, especially as it is a secondary cancer.

Can anyone give me some hope that there could still be a positive outcome please?

  • Hello littlemin, 

    I hope you don't mind me stopping by but I just wanted to welcome you to the forum and to wish you and your husband all the best for tomorrow.

    This must be a very scary and anxious time but our community are here for you, and I'm sure it won't be long until some of our members stop by to offer their support and advice.

    If there are any other questions or concerns you have about your husband's surgery and recovery afterwards, then don't hesitate in giving our cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to help.

    If you're not aware of them already, you can get further information and advice from The Brain Tumour Charity.

    When you feel up to it, do let us know how everything goes. We'll be thinking of you and will have our fingers crossed the surgery is a success.

    Best wishes to you both,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
