I know I should be thankful that in spite of a grim prognosis my husband is still around 8 months after diagnosis but I miss the man he used to be. His tumour was in his frontal lobe and that together with him being on dexmethasone has meant all sort of personality changes. I also worry about our girls (aged 9 and 3) having to watch him deteriorate. I can see subtle changes from week to week. I guess I am having a glass half empty moment but I keep thinking "He's too brilliant for this to be happnening to his brain". My love for him has not changed. I am still his number one fan. I just want for time to stand still for a while, allow me the time to breathe before this rollercoaster we're on heads downwards again. Too much to ask?

    We all cherish our capacity for thought and reason and when it disappears in one that we love it is like we are getting secretly robbed.
