Recently diagnosed with brain cancer

[u/Beneficial_Ad_1329]

He redditors, i was recently diagnosed with a braintumor around 3x5 cm on the right hand side of my brain. I feel very frustrated that i can't get any answers from the doctors about my survival rate yet or worse risk of getting paralyzed on my left side of the body. i understand that it takes time and they have to wait for the results from the biopsi that was taken last friday. But can anyone give me something? I'm 28 years old and feel free to ask any questions, and i will try to answer as best as i can.

EDIT: Not my scan but looks awfully close to my pictures. stupid me didn't take a picture of the scan. maybe i can find it somewhere in my online journals

My husband was diagnosed a little over a year ago about a month after his 25th birthday. We have seen around a dozen doctors in the field, and only one has given us a “prognosis” that of which is grim. Every other doctor has said that they can’t possibly tell us what his prognosis is in good conscience because of the rapid improvements in the field. The original doctor that diagnosed him told us to expect him to “live a normal life”. Our normal is absolutely different after the diagnosis, surgery, and post op seizures- but we are in the clear thus far. Praying we stay on this track and hoping the best for you! Please reach out if you have questions. P.S. take lots of pictures of scans, and record your appointments! They are great to reference back to when needed. Write down all of your questions so you don’t forget them when the time comes!

I’m in very similar situation and it’s the second time I see this „expect a normal life” in your comments and it gives me so much hope, even though I know it’s not super probable in current medicine state… anyway, thanks, I was never given a prognosis but my doctor seemed weirdly optimistic about no recurrence in the future, good to see maybe he’s not the only one seeing a good future for us
