Living with a Spouse Who Has a High Grade Brain Tumor

Living with a person who has a brain tumor can be very difficult not only on the family but also on friends and relatives. The brain is the hardest thing to replace. It is the center of the personaliy, fine and gross motor skills. Once someone is diagnosed with a high level of brain tumor, the death watch is on. Unfortunately no one knows how long or what treatment will actually work. One can only hope that treatment will help the person and pray it continues to help. It can be an emotional rollercoaster with symptoms running from memory loss, extreme fatigue to nausea. Family and friends have to work together to make the patient as comfortable. Unfortunatly if someone has high grade tumor the odds are not good. It is very tolling on the family.
