Glioblastoma Grade 4: How do handle family conversations, sharing?
Brain Tumor | Last Active: Oct 5, 2023 | Replies (28)Comment receiving replies
When my wife had the surgery to remove the brain tumor we notified our children and siblings on both sides of the family. Over the next few days we notified all our close friends and the more distant family members of her condition and future.
Only our daughter and husband live in Bismarck with us and the others are spread from coast to coast so we wanted to eliminate any surprises when future events occur.
My wife gets many phone calls each week from them and plays on line bridge with old friends.

When my husband was sick, I set up several group texts and communicated his progress that way. It worked well and everyone knew how he was doing. I would send a message after each MRI result and when there was a significant change or occurrence in his status. It eliminates phone calls as it becomes difficult to keep verbalizing when things aren't going well. Hope this helps. Kathie
