Hi all, 

i’ve not posted for a long time as we have been muddling along with stable scans for my husbands brain tumour, however, 2 weeks ago we went for his latest mri results (he has 6monthly scans!) we were told in addition to a minor change 6months ago that the is now a further change and as a result they now feel it’s time to treat the tumour! My husband was diagnosed 5 years ago and since then has been a ‘watch and wait’ patient, I thought during that time I had readied myself for the time that things may change, however I really haven’t! 

We’ve been told he will have surgery to obtain a biopsy (something until now they have never wanted to do!) and following that he will have 6.1/2 weeks of radiotherapy 5days a week in addition to chemotherapy!!! I’m in total shock and not sure how I should be feeling! My children don’t know anything and have luckily gone on holiday with my parents for 10 days (the best timing!) so hopefully I can sort my head out, my husband too!!! 

How am I supposed to feel? Relieved that they are finally treating the tumour or frightened that’s its active enough that they now need to treat it! 

Sorry for all the rambling, I guess I just needed to get it out in a safe place!
