Question for my cousin diagnosed with inoperable tumor
I hope someone can help us understand what is happening to our dear Maria. She was told she has only months to live because she has brain cancer. We are beside ourselves. My aunt doesn't even know how to say the type of tumor she has!
What type of tumor makes it hard to walk, hard to talk and makes a patient lose their memory completely in the present tense but remembers things from years ago?
The MRI shows the tumors are also growing into her spine and they are doing radiation right now. She has had seizures too that they thought at first were epilepsy
Thanks
Karen
