Hello Lezelym,

I am so sorry to hear that your husband's latest MRI has showed another tumour which cannot be removed and I hope the immunotherapy treatment will work well for him. How scary it must be for you to not have heard a word from your husband for the past two weeks.

I hope you will meet others here who have had a partner affected by brain cancer or who can help you understand what is causing your husband's silence. It helps sometimes to share experiences. If you have any medical questions, you are welcome to ring our nurses on this free number 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.

I will now let our other members come and say hello as it sounds like you need to talk to someone who understands what you are going through.

Best wishes,

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator

Thank you for replying i would love to hear from anyone who is going through similar to me as i am really starting to get low x

I am sorry to hear that. If it helps, my wife’s response to her breast cancer has largely been that she doesn’t want to talk about it. She has said she feels ashamed for having it (I’ve tried reasoning with her on that). I think if I had cancer I would probably clam up. Does our husband usually share his feelings? Men are generally worse at doing that than women. He might be trying to be strong for you or he might be thinking if he talks about it he will just fall apart and upset you? Is it best to maybe hug him, even if you don’t say anything, and wait for him to broach the subject? He’s trying to process something awful and might just not know what to say or do.
