Husband just been diagnosed with brain tumour

[Marsbar2024]

My husband has just been diagnosed with a brain tumour aged 32. He had a seizure back in March and they didn’t do a CT, and then no symptoms until now, which he had all symptoms of a migraine last week, they did a CT scan which showed a 6cm tumour in temporal/frontal lobe which they believe is low grade but can’t say for sure yet. He is down to have a craniotomy asap just awaiting SALT/MRI and memory test. We have a young family (3 month old and 2 yr old). Has anyone been through anything similar? Have any advice?

Hello. I am in Australia with a very similar story to yours. My partner, at age 39, collapsed with seizure. Completely out of the blue. Minutes before she had been up a ladder with power tool. CT and MRI revealed right frontal lobe 10cm astrocytoma. Surgery, Chemo tablets and 6 wks radiation. What we learnt was that this type of brain tumor is often in the 30s age bracket in active high level thinking people. Thoughts are with you. It can be a lonely journey, if you let it. Talk to and include people with you is my advice

Sorry to hear that, has she made a full recovery? Did they know for definite on the MRI that it was Astrocytoma?
