Hi Monique Since its been some time since your post, I hope things have settled down a little for you. I know exactly what you mean. My husband had a tumour in 2001 which proved to be a grade 3 glioma. He was told he would have 5 years. He went 7.5 years with no recurrence at all. In fact his scan last December (he had an MRI) was "clean". In Feb this year he had a massize seizure at work and a Ct scan and MRI later we were told that he had not one but 2 tumours in his brain. In March he had a biopsy and as much as they could see of the tumours were removed. We were then told that the tumors had gone up a stage and he now has GBM...the most aggressive form of brain tumour. I was so positive the first time around that when I started falling apart this time around I could not understand it. I found myself crying in the car and in the shower as I contemplated life without my soulmate. I am 35 and we have 2 beautiful girls aged 9 and 3. I eventually went to see my GP who referred me to a counsellor and after 3 months of sessions with her...I am now coping better with our situation. There is no normal way to react. There are so many ups and downs in this journey it can be mind boggling at times. My hubby's personality has changed and he is more irritable and at times it is hard to be patient. So..dont worry there is no right emotion. Try to take care of yourself while you cater for his and your daughter's needs.
