6 days agoHello! My 35 year old son was recently diagnosed with Astrocytoma wild type. He had surgery on 5/27 surgeon removed 70%. He is starting radiation and chemo today. I am just looking for help in navigating this very difficult path with him. I am just falling apart. He has 3 children, 12, 10 and 18 months.

6 days agoSupporting a loved one through cancer treatment while managing your own emotions can feel overwhelming, especially when young children are involved. Many caregivers find it helpful to connect with other families going through similar experiences, lean on friends and extended family for practical support with daily tasks, and remember that taking care of yourself emotionally is essential for being there for your son and grandchildren during this challenging time.
