I never thought I would be posting on a forum like this, but so pleased to have found it. Two and a half weeks ago our life was, we thought, normal. Thinking about retiring next year and family growing up and becoming independent. We had been to Abu Dhabi at Easter to see eldest son, Dorset for the bank holiday weekend and booked to go to Paris to see our daughter at the end of May.
Week after bank holiday my husband not feeling himself and got him to go to the GP. MRI scan showed two masses in his brain. Since then we have been seen at the hospital and been told two tumours, more than likely cancer. One too inaccessible to operate, and too large for gamma knife, the other will be de-bulked on Tuesday and sent for pathology. When they know what it is they will discuss treatment options. Without treatment prognosis 6 months. With treatment - cannot say as too many unknowns.
Trying not to get upset in front of my husband as this upsets him. He is dealing with it surprisingly well. I am frightened, angry, upset.... so many emotions. So many people are going through this, but until it happens to you, you don't really understand.
I am sure we will get through this somehow. Trying to stay strong and positive.
