Hello @barb789123 Welcome to Mayo Connect! Nice to e-meet you here, although I am sorry to read of your diagnosis. I am Scott and my wife was also diagnosed with an oligodendroglioma in her 40s. I was her caregiver.
She, too, after her surgery was greatly impacted, but after intensive PT and OT she, too, regained much of her abilities. It's amazing to read of the advances made in treatment of this type of tumor since her diagnosis -- proton beam was just being discussed at the first of her illness.
As a caregiver I appreciated your comment on how much you appreciated their help. Often that is not communicated! What was it you appreciated the most from your caregivers?
Strength, courage, and peace!
