Hi my name is Rocky I have two brain tumors now and I had one taken out in 2010 I have been feeling the urge to give up and let the tumors take me cause it feels like know one cares anymore it's very hard for my family to see me this way and I feel that I'm just a nusense to everyone I feel alone In this battle my wife is a trooper but I don't want to burden her any longer

Hi @morock77 Rocky,
It must be terrible to feel this way. Have you spoken to your wife about how you feel? It might help to have a frank and open conversation about your feeling like a nuisance and a burden on her. You might be surprised to hear that she doesn’t feel the same way. She probably has fears of her own. Perhaps if you start the conversation, she will be able to talk about the things that weigh heavily on her heart too. Dealing with recurring brain tumors is tough, for both of you.

Do you think you could start that conversation with her?
