Brain / CNS Tumors Support Group
A brain tumor is any intracranial tumor created by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division, normally either found in the brain itself, in the cranial nerves, in the brain envelopes, skull, pituitary and pineal gland, or spread from cancers primarily located in other organs (metastatic tumors). Brain tumors may be benign or malignant.

This is slightly depressing but I'm not sure what to do. generally I am a happy go lucky girl no matter what has happened in life ut to be told that with the amount of tumours I currently have and the rate is usualls steady she told me I probably have only 10 years max. Whilst this is not immediate the thught of future etc scares me and has unwillingly changed my outlook the now on life. How do you get passed this and accept it. I hven't even told my parents yet as not sure how they will react (they live in denial anyway).

help you with everything. I have accepted my brain tumor. I have accepted it's nasty side effects. I mean, what else is there to do but accpet it and move on and that's is what I did . I have accepted my brain tumor as an extension of myself. If they should operate, I do not fear, for it's all in God,s hands anyway. Take care.
some peaple are blessed with long lives full of money,no illness,no problems,hardlely seems fair,while some peaple live only a few hrs on this earth,and many loved ones are taken from us everday from accident,illness,or just their time on this earth is done.we are blessed to live in america with some of the best dr's in the world,but still as humans we suffer,and have to stare at our own mortality daily.it is not only how long our lives are,for no one knows that,not even those of us with illness,but the quality of life,and the difference we make while we are here.we are loved,and we love others,that is all we are promised in the end.so enjoy every breath,and move forward everyday!
God Bless you.
You are right, brain tumours are pretty difficult to accept for sure. Speaking for myself & others that i know in this position, your life has seemingly changed in an instant. I realize that you have many frustrations, anxieties, dilemma's & whatever else that you are most-likely going through but the good news is that you were told 10yrs. I have never believed what the doctors told me & just pushed ahead. They gave me a death sentence of 4 days (2wks before i was to become a police officer)& it's been over 8yrs. So you're 10 yrs could be 50yrs or a lifetime... I know it's hard, but try not to think too far ahead and don't let the doc's or anyone shoot you down. Don't let them take your life away like that. 1 day at time. Once i finally "woke up and smelled the coffee" i realized that this was now my new life and i had to deal with it in a new way. I was once a very active chick, now i am a very slow-paced one & take one day at a time & am just grateful that i'm still here, walking & talking & wiping away the old fears about the alternative... There's always hope...
