    Hello Shelly99, 

    Welcome to our forum. This is truly heartbreaking I am so  sorry to hear about your poor husband and that his cancer is so aggressive. I just wanted you to know that we are all here for you anytime you want to talk to others who know exactly what you are going through. Many on the forum have also looked after a loved one with brain cancer and I hope that they will be along shortly to share their story with you. 

    Our nurses are also available on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm if you ever feel the need to talk things through with them. 

    Best wishes,

    Hi my husband was diagnosed in October and had operation in November but they could only get a little of it out. They have told us he has 6 to 12 months to live . He is about to start 6 weeks of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. I can't believe the change in him already and I struggle to get him to do anything as he is so unsteady on his feet and he won't get back the part of his sight he has lost. We were due to go on honeymoon but covid put paid to that.

    I just wondered how you are and to let you know I am here if you want to chat. Its so difficult to explain to anyone how hard it is to come to terms with as it all happens so quick

    Hi I'm so sorry to hear about your husband, I too am going through the same as you. My husband was diagnosed in September, had surgery in November & he is due to start 3 weeks intense radiotherapy. We had only got married 6 weeks earlier & as you should be just enjoying married life & not dealing with this . I understand how your feeling so helpless (I feel I'm in denial ) as everything seems to be happening so fast and his memory is so bad he admitted he couldn't remember where we met & it was only 2 years ago and that's so heartbreaking to hear. I'm sending you lots of love and positivity. Take care of yourselves xxx
