What is to come next with a brain cancer diagnosis? Back in June we found out that my father has brain cancer. He originally had melanoma which then spread to the rest of his body, but the brain is the doctors' main focus. In July he had a Grand Mal seizure and was hospitalized for some time, then went to a nursing home for about 6 weeks while he underwent radiation therapy. He is now at home with me and I am caring for him 24/7. He's also currently taking Temodar (chemo) but the doctors are not very optimistic. I am just wondering what is to come, what do I need to be thinking about? What will happen mentally and physically to him? How do I know when things are really getting bad? I have a little bit, but not much of an idea of what will happen, as he already is having short term memory loss, vision loss, etc. I am interested in hearing from people who have been through this before with their own families. Thanks!

Have any of you had brain cancer? What are some of your stories? My boyfriend has recently been diagnosed with brain cancer. He's already had it surgically removed, but they were only able to get part of it out because of fear of killing him. He's now on chemo and radiation treatment and we all have high hopes he will make a full recovery. His cancer has been very aggressive and fast and I was just wondering if anyone has any survivor stories that could give him hope as he's been feeling a little down lately. Thank you in advance for replies.

The doctors expect me to live maybe about two more months, because I decided not to fight it anymore. I want to spend my last days with my daughter. How do I tell her this? I want her to know. I want her to know that when I go she'll be living with her Aunt & Uncle.

Do I have brain cancer or something? Ive noticed it more often over last 2 weeks, but some of its bin happening longer than that, sometimes hearing voices, sudden severe recurring headaches, strange random body pains, depeleted hand eye co-ordination, light sensitivity and false memories. One of my friends made a joke about brain cancer, but now im just ever so slightly concerned. Any of these symptoms add up to anything anyone knows about?
how do people with terminal brain cancer die. is it painful or will she just go to sleep.? My grandmother has anaplastic astrocytoma (brain cancer). She was diagnosed a year ago and the tumor is inoperable. She has had radiation and has taken temador to try to prolong her life. In the last couple of months she has become extremely sleepy, forgetful and slightly confused at times. As I have watched her mental status change, I wonder how much time she has left. I hope she does not suffer in any way. I don't want to see her become combative or confused to the point she does not recognize us. Is it possible she may just fall asleep and not wake up?
