Hello. My Mom was diagnosed with PCNSL in 2009. She had 2 large tumours. One was pressing on her ocular nerve. They removed it. They radiated the other heavily for 6 months. She was left with severe seizures for many years. She was in her late 60’s. She was in and out of hospital. They finally got her seizures under control. She was… different. Her personality. She liked Mark Walberg. lol She swore a little. Her muscles slowly atrophied. She fell a few times. She had trouble walking. We put her in a nursing home. She has been slowly going down hill. Her metal and emotional health are great. She just is fading away. I am very thankful to all the medical staff over the years that have taken care of her. They have been amazing! I couldn’t have asked for better more caring people to help my Mom. My Mom was a nurse for close to 40 years. I warms my heart yo see her being treated the same way she treated others! It’s been 13 great years and I am so glad my Mom had the strength to get through them! I love her to pieces! 🥰😇

Aw, what a lovely photo of your dear mum. She looks like such a sweet lady and it warms my heart to know she’s being so well taken care of in the nursing home. As a nurse, she certainly gave much love and care to others so I’m happy she’s receiving the same TLC she provided for so many years.

I’m sorry for what she’s had to endure all these years but wow, what a testimony to her inner strength to still be positive and have a great mental attitude in spite of her body failing her. You obviously love her very much and that has also kept her going, no doubt. I hope you both have many more years gather. This was a lovely message right before the holidays,

Who’s in the photo with your mom?
