Hi Scarlett,
This is something very close to my heart. I can only reiterate what others have said before. It depends on so many different things and eveyone is slightly different. I can only recommed that you stay positve for him, and support him in any way you can. Right now he will be scared, bewildered and probably not take in half the things that are being said to him.
I was diagnosed with a brain tumour four months ago and was quickly referred to a specialist surgeon in Plymouth. I have a very large (size of a satsuma) tumour in my left frontal lobe. Luckily after many tests it appears that it is not malignant and that they think it is slow growing. I am currently awaiting test results to confirm this. I was offered to take the wait and see route, but do have to have very regular MRI scans, medication, other tests and should I get to a point where I can't cope with the thought with it being there, I just have to ask and they will remove it. If it changes or my seizures and headaches become more frequent then the decision will be taken away and I will have to have the surgery. My point now that I have rambled on is that, four months ago I thought my life was over. I was scared and angry, I kept thinking they had got the wrong person and each time I went in to have tests I expected them to tell me that they had made a mistake. As time has gone on, I have, my family and friends have experianced so many different kinds of emotions and over time my emotions have become more stable ( I wouldn't say always), I have gone back to work part time, and starting to make plans again. So no please do not think the worst, as he will already be thinking that and he will need reasurance and someone who believes in him. All my best wishes to you and your friend.
