4 Reactions@randallshields56 i just put together a welcome mat of sorts and asked in prayer for a couple more angles to drop in so that they can help with others today, don't know how strong your beliefs are but prayer and prayer groups can accomplish things that stand your hair on end ask friends and have them ask churches and friends of friends. and whatever you have to fight for make that your prayer also. i just had some bad news yesterday and today got up, exercised and said my blessings for being alive and with my daughter another day, i am praying for you now,============== don't know your name , called you 23, ps prayer sent.

I saw your post about tangled hair post op. After my craniotomy in Nov the hospital sent me home w a "moisturizing" medical shampoo that I used once before I was discharged. Even though I have very straight hair the nurse used a "pick" like comb to get some tangles out without needing to brush close to my scalp. Maybe you could reach out to your care team or ask local pharmacy to help you find a detangling moisturizing shampoo. Hope this helps.🙏
@jeanneoc wish i could help more i had so many staples removed and messed up hair but my hair is military cut and short, once it gets any length my daughter cuts it or gives me a new look to get by the scar itch and pull of hair. she also has a gentle soap . each person is diff, but ask around and people have great help here.

Hi. I just found this weeks later, so sorry.
My granddaughter was 25 the week she was diagnosed and had her first surgery. The second tumor and surgery was 11 months after the first. So far she doesn’t have symptoms from the new tumor; it’s small and was found on a routine MRI so I guess they will keep watching it?

1 ReactionFirst I would like to say that I am deeply sorry for all that u and your boyfriend are going through this and I pray that u find some kind of comfort and hopefully a little peace during all of this.
Idk but, anything is possible and u need to have very strong faith in God and pray every spare second that u can..u can always take a moment to send up a prayer.
I'm definitely praying for u both..and I pray that things won't be so hard for u..
My 34 yr old son Justin Whitfield was diagnosed with the same thing 4 yrs ago. Stage 4 Glioblastoma Brain Tumor. And it doesn't look as if there are very many treatment options for this disease and
they say there is no cure for it, only treatments and those said treatments aren't going to cure it but, they MIGHT provide a better quality of life, persay and there is no cure for it. And that type of info is extremely hard to process for anyone. I know that I have had an extremely hard time processing it and I'm 58 yrs old.. so I know how hard it must be for u as well ...Justin did have surgery back in June of 2025 and the surgery was not successful at all.. if anything, it has progressed way faster since the surgery... And in November 2025 his neurologist told him he only had weeks and believe it or not, he is still hanging in there but, getting progressively worse as the days go by. He was diagnosed 4 yrs ago. I know that his time is very limited at this point and I feel so useless, so loss and am so overwhelmed with all of this that all I have been able to do is walk around in a daze and try best to process what is going on..
That was, until yesterday.
I decide yesterday to stop walking around in that daze, and get a grip and get out there and read up on this and get all the info that I can about it and I think I will advocate for this disease..I want to put all the info that I have learned about it, out there on these social media platforms and mabe just make people aware of this disease and mabe explain to them what to expect if a loved one has this disease and mabe give them some insight about the process of it all..idk, that's just what I feel like I need to do for other people that may be going through the same things that u and I are going through...mabe it will help someone and mabe give them a little peace and comfort in their lives ..because I haven't ever heard anyone on any platforms discuss this disease at all and the people such as u and I and the caregivers for these ones that are sick, well we need to know all that we can about it as well...so I'm just hoping to make people aware of this disease and the effects of it and hopefully educate people on this..At least that is my goal..we will see how it goes..
But back to u, I am praying very hard for u and your boyfriend. I pray that somehow u will find a little comfort and possibly a little peace during this time...I am praying for u girl!!!🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
