      I lost my husband to brain cancer 8 months ago. I struggle to carry on and not feel overburdened by work, family, life.

      My husband was diagnosed with an oligodendroglioma and endured radiotherapy and chemo for a year and a half. He was doing very well, it seemed, until the tumour grew back suddenly. He went through a second brain surgery, through which his doctor hoped to give him a little more time, but the tumour had become extremely aggressive. He died four months later, at home.

      Treatments

      Grief Counseling Working / Worked
      I saw a therapist while I was taking care of my husband at home. She was a great help because she helped me see that though I felt I was not doing anything for him, I was actually doing everything that could be done.
      Keeping Busy Too Soon to Tell
      All I know is that keeping busy is what keeps me as sane as I can be at this moment.
