Having problems with message search?
Tim,
I'm not sure what kind of changes your wife is having, you may want to elaborate. I remember my husband telling me that, right after my surgery, I would erupt in anger and the littlest thing, only to forget about it a minute later. Mood swings I guess you would call it. I know those first couple of years weren't easy for either of us. I was lost in my own little sad world, so preoccupied with myself and my illness. It certainly was a hard time. I'm sorry about your marriage. I knew a woman who's husband became very mean and bitter and she couldn't take it anymore. I'm sure there are other stories that you will get from the group. Hang in there.

wife had a brain tumor. She had surgery and radiation therapy over
the summer and is continuing with chemotherapy. Two months after the
radiation therapy she had some changes in her personality. There
were changes in her MRI scans indicating radiation necrosis. Because
of these changes our marriage is just about to end.
Have any other survivors experienced personality changes? There was
nothing said to us before the surgery and treatments about this
possibility. That a loving marriage could be destroyed in a few
weeks amazes me. I am still trying to get over the shock of this.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim
