Waiting for pathology results from second brain tumor. Really nervous

@nozland, radiation might be helpful and not hurtful to your brain. I had 10 whole brain radiation treatments about 2 months ago, and haven't noticed many side effects, except losing some of my hair. I'll have a brain MRI in March to see what good the radiation did. My main thoughts are trusting God and not worrying about what I don't know. You've already gone through a lot. It's worth asking deep questions, and seeking people to give you hope. We should all (with cancer and not) get our spiritual and other things in order. I still need to do paperwork for final things. I hope you'll get great responses here, and from your medical staff. Blessings:)

Hi @wendeth I agree with your statement about all of us having the need to get our paperwork, etc. in order! As difficult as some of the discussions on this were with my wife, when she was fighting her cancer war it made a difference. First thing was she signed the necessary HIPPA forms so her doctors could talk about her situation directly with our adult children. That was a huge help for them! Then we also put together our estate plans, wills, advance medical directives, POA (legal and medical), etc. She also explained her final wishes as to her funeral, cremation, giving certain gifts to certain people, even the music at her celebration, and more. When the time came this was a much larger help to us than I had ever anticipated! None of us had to guess as to what she would have wanted.
