To: I am 24 and today I found out I have a brain tumor.
Me: Anyone would be terrified in your position and you don’t need to pretend you are OK with it, when you are obviously not. Tell them you are scared of what the future holds and you need their love and support and advice to help you get through this and hope that your final prognosis is good, it can be operated on and removed and then everything will carry on as normal.
50 years ago, I would have said you had no hope, but today, with laser treatments and many other “out of this world” techniques, I’d say your chances of surviving this are 100% better than 50 years ago so try to remain positive and hope for a good final result, as I am for you, as well.
