So sad: Husband has glioma and I feel he is fading away

My husband has finished his chemo and radiation.He is now on chemo for 5 days and off for 23, blood tests every two weeks and MRI every two months.
His tumor has not spread but his speech and steadiness are greatly impaired. The doctors have ordered one month of speech and physical therapy. If that does not work, they are going to send him to a neurologist. I feel that this may be our new norm. We cannot have a conversation as he does not understand or remember anything. His hands shake and he is very unsteady.

Hello @rosez Sorry to read of your husband's continued decline. Chronic illness is such a difficult thing to manage with its almost daily changes and a caregiver's constant monitoring for any alteration in our loved one! All the changes are so hard to witness!

I remember when our lives revolved around the medical calendar of when the next test, MRI, etc. was. I am hoping for the best outcomes possible for your husband as he continues his chemo.

Strength, courage, and peace
