Hi all,

I'm sorry I'm new to this. My partner was diagnosed last July with a type 4 glioblastoma, and then discovered he had two (I called them Bert and Ernie). He has down the surgery and radio for both and we were given a thumbs up by the surgeon. I'm terrible when it comes to panicking, but he has been happy to coast along without a prognosis etc. I was wondering whether anyone here had any stories or advice on what happens during the recovery process? I went on another UK brain tumour charity website and they were terrifying! They said he has between 12 and 18 months and probably no more than 3 years!!! He has hit the denial stage because he saw them tick "non cancerous" on a form at the hospital after Ernie was taken out, so there is no point me asking him lol. He has funny turns every now and again, like occasional loss of speech and, since Saturday, his right hand has felt "nothing like his left hand", not in a sense of pain but more in an odd sensation. Does anyone have any stories about weird things and moments you had during your recovery eye.? My friend said to ask on here as real people will be truthful as possible on this website, whereas other websites go for the scare factor :(

Sorry for how long winded that was but it's the first time I've let a portion of my fear out :(

Thank you for reading,

Lauren
