Welcome @rosez. I feel your sadness.
I've added your message to the Caregivers group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/caregivers/) as well as here in the Brain Tumor group.

You are not alone. I'd like to bring a few members like @IndianaScott @donnamar @nursnis and @johns66. They've been there and understand your reality right now.

How many weeks of treatment will your husband have? Was he quiet and struggling to find words before treatment started?

He has only had one week of treatments. He has 5 more weeks daily. Yes he was mixing up words before. Maybe he isn’t getting worse. Maybe I am weary. One and half hour drive five days a week and I can’t leave him alone.

Had full resection with clear margins. Just finished 3 WEEKS RADIATION AND tmx. no REAL SIDE EFFECTS. LIVING FOR NEXT mri. need TO PROVE STATISTICS ARE WRONG!!!
