Hi Anna, I'm 47 and have been dealing with brain cancer since I was 34. I had 13 years of no recurrence and then it reappeared this year in a new spot and more aggressive. I'm struggling with the recurrence and would love to connect with someone who understands. Thanks, Jill ... View more

Hi Deputy, I think that you are extremely brave and it's absolutely OK to complain under the circumstances. It's ok to not be strong all the time. What has happened to you absolutely sucks!

Hi Anna I would love to grab a coffee with you but you will have to come up to North Queensland to do it! Sorry! You may have read on other posts that my husband has GBM for 8 and a half years now. He would feel very much in tune with you and your feelings I am sure. He can't do much these days but at least give hope to others that terminal doesn't necessarily mean very soon. Hope you are having some good times in a very tough journey ... View more

Wow Paul - you sound incredibly brave and focussed and I commend you for that. I think we need to be when we're dealing with any type of cancer really - face it head on! I share your frustration in that although your cancer is different to my husbands - they both do not have a lot of treatment options available to fight them by the sound of it - and when I hear of media reporting fundraising for breast cancer and bowel cancers I sometimes find myself wishing that the type of cancer we are dealing with was more common - and thus had more options to fight it with. Good luck with the fight and keep talking and sharing as even though we have different types of cancer to contend with we also share lots of similarities and frustrations to by the sound of it.
