while on the neuro run, i had the opportunity to talk to a pt who had a brain tumour..it was removed already but they found extra tumour bits on followup scans so she was brought in again to have those bits removed..
it turned out that these bits were of a higher grade than from the previous operation..i guess tht meant her brain tumour was progressing and she mite progress to the late stage..which has very poor prognosis..it then hit me soon after tht she is prob unlikely to survive past the next 10 years..
she was a young patient, married, no kids..i wondered wat would her husband feel..would they plan to have kids if they knew that she wouldn't survive long enuf to see them graduate, to see them get married?
brain tumours suck..i never liked brain tumours..i guess most ppl who end up with brain tumours are forced to rethink their life plans..i think most ppl dnt get to live dat long..
wat if the one you loved had a brain tumour? how would dat make u feel? would u stick with them even tho u kno dat they aren't gonna survive long enuf to grow old with u?
wat if u found out u had a brain tumour? how would dat make u feel? would u tell the one u loved abt it? or would u keep it quiet? would u break up with them becos u kno u could never grow old with them?
after all this time thinking abt it, i still don't kno wat i would do..thankfully i don't have to make those kinda decisions..
