Hey all, 

So very very new to this. My husband has recently (Thursday) been diagnosed with a brain tumour. We don't know a huge amount still, just that it's a glioma (no idea on type yet). It's 4cm big and at the front left of the brain. I am trying to find out what's what, to be honest, I don't know if there is a more common type. I know of others who have survived brain tumours, but I don't think they were glioma? So I don't know what the survivability is, I don't know if I am going to have a husband until we're 80 or if he is going to leave me in months. He's only 36 and I'm nearly 32.

I don't know what to do with myself, I am trying not to let things get to me without knowing fully what the circumstances are. But I am scared, rightly so too, but I don't know what I am scared of yet. He's gone from never being ill (beyond the occasional devastating bout of man flu) to this. I had never seen him so ill before.

Will be lurking around here over the next few months, hoping we both get through this ok.
