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.
Hiya, My name is Zelda and I am 18 years old and have recently been diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme Stage 4.
Is it just me, or when you tell someone about it they act differently around you? Like a completely different person? One of my best friends, Jonny, has always been a clown around me, we drove eachother insane but we loved eachother really. But after telling him recently about my diagnosis, I feel he isn't the same person, like he can't talk to me about anything anymore. It's like when we talk we aren't on the same page
Any advice on what to do?

I am so sorry to hear of this diagnosis........your friend doesn't know what to say or do.. And truly? You are NOT on the same page anymore. He is afraid. You are afraid....there is a lot to be afraid about. Don't expect too much from him....give it space....and when you and he are both ready to talk about it, you will. This is not easy.........my heart is with you. Be sure you have a good support system in place....with or without Jonny.....
