Im am a big worrier, talking would be great :)

was diagnosed with a grade 2 brain tumor early in 2015. During 2015, I had 2 different brain operations, the first in February and the in June. Recently, after having constant MRI scans since my last operation, I have been told the tumor has gotten worse. Now it is grade 3. Recently I have had a third operation, and told that radiotherapy is strongly advised. I am shocked, but mainly terrified of the outcomes during and after radiotherapy. I feel my self-esteem and confidence will fall dramatically. the situation is forever on my mind. I feel that if I could talk with someone, in a similar or in the same position, I would be forever greatful.

  • Hello Kayleigh15,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I am sorry to hear your tumour is now grade 3 and I hope you will get to talk to others here who are or have been in a similar position.

    It is normal to be worried about starting radiotherapy and I thought I would share with you our information on radiotherapy for brain tumours which you can read here . I hope it will answer some of the questions you may have. If you live in the UK, don't hesitate to give our nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm

    It can also help to talk to others who are currently going through a similar experience and perhaps you would like to drop a line to [@carl78]‍  here who posted only a few days ago and recently had brain surgery.

    Best wishes,
