Hi
My 86 yr old dad was suddenly diagnosed nearly two months ago with frontal lobe cerebral lymphoma
We thought he had a stroke
Otherwise prior to this he was fit well and healthy..an avid cyclist.. always out...never been in hospital in his life
He has refused all treatment ie.. chemotherapy and radiotherapy as it would only be palliative
He's on dexamethasone which is causing terrible mood swings and aggression
I've discussed this with the palliative care team and they are reluctant to reduce the dose. I'm his main carer at the moment as he needs daily support..not carers at present
Also we have had no indication of life expectancy despite asking consultant and neuro oncology specialist
He's frustrated as he now can't be as physical active as he once was and is persistently tired once the steroids wear off. Anybody experiencing the same thing... feeling like there's a lack of information other than what little I can get from the internet
Sorry for my rant
