Dear Kimberegg,

I had to read your post a few times before I could find the words to be of any help to you.

The shocking discovery of another tumour must be devastating for all of your family , but most of all your loving wife.

Tell her to be strong, for you both have already come though this before together and together you can again regardless of its outcome that no-one on here can predict for you.

Yes there is a recognized " Broken Heart syndrome " called Takostubo which has a Facebook page and even some information on here { just put it in the search box }

Hopefully very soon someone else will come along with more information for you.

In the mean time I hope that you can both see and use the strength that lies between you because of what the pair of you have already gone though .

Take care , you are both in my pryers

Sorry but I'm not sure what you are asking...

I only know diatonic from musical theory, so I'm not sure how that's related to the brain or broken heart syndrome? I'm assuming it's a typo but I can't think what else it could be. Could you maybe give us some more information?

Dear Kimberegg, I'm sorry you're going through such a difficult time.

Yes, there is a broken heart syndrome called Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Take care
