today i have been diagnosed with at least one glioblastoma multiforme grade 4 brain tumour.  i have been given a life expectancy of 6-12 months.

obviously i am aiming for longer  in this world but would  be really grateful  for any advice, tips or techniques to make that happen please.

 

  • Welcome to our forum, cklopper, although I'm sorry to hear about the reason that brings you here.

    This is a great place to share our cancer stories and tips on how to cope with our struggles as there are many others here who have been in a similar situation, either as a patient or as a cares, so I hope you will soon hear from our members and that this will help you along the way.

    There is also some information from our website about brain tumours I wanted to share with you and I hope this can be of some help.

    Stay strong, cklopper.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Hi there ... so sorry you've been given that news ... this cancer has no compassion. .  But welcome to our little chat room ... you are most welcome ...  I'm a grade 3 her 2 breast cancer lady ... and I suppose wer all hoping for a bit of time ... l hope you have some close family to share this journey with you ...

    I hope you get many more good months, where you can make memories ... that's what I'm doing every day ... I'm not looking ahead, and live in the day ... hope you can share, tears, anger, hugs, and say to everyone you care about, what's in your heart ... 

    Any time you just want a shoulder, or an ear to listen, this is the place ... we can help walk with you on your journey. . I think you must be having so many emotions right now , we all have days where we have a melt down ... but cancer wants us to give up and lay down and just wait ... so im putting two fingers up to it ... it may get me in the end, but it wont change me, ill do as much for as long as i can ...

    So sending you a vertual hug ... always here if you need it ... Chrissie
