Recent diagnosis of my mum

My mum was diagnosed with a brain tumor after having a seizure around the middle of September, she had surgery but they could only remove about 90% of it, they did a histology test and on friday (17/10/25) we got the results of terminal brain cancer, grade 4 Glioblastoma, I am struggling to cope and would like to speak to people going through similar experiences 

  • Welcome to our forum, Louise6359.

    I’m sorry to hear about your mum’s diagnosis. It’s completely understandable that you’re finding it hard to cope right now.

    You’re very welcome to talk things through here with others who’ve been in a similar situation. Many people here have supported a parent or partner with brain cancer and will understand some of what you’re feeling.

    You might also find it helpful to look at the information on our website about how to support someone with cancer as it covers things like managing emotions and where to find extra support.

    If you ever feel like you need to talk it through with someone, our nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

    Take things one step at a time, and please keep posting if it helps to share how you’re doing.

    Best wishes to you and your mum,
