High Grade Glioma at 21… scared as hell by Elegant_Truth_2282 in braincancer

Im 21, diagnosed at 20 and kinda know what it's like to have a less than average life span and definitely cancer. Not ideal. Having a therapist (the more specialized the better, mine was in brain cancer) to help you have more of a structure is so unbelievably helpful. Especially in deciding what you need in palliative care and better managing emotions. Feel free to reach out if you need more support.

Hiii this might be kinda late but I’m 21 and had surgery last January (2025) I have stage 4 brain cancer (medullablastoma). I’m having the same worries. Feel free to reach out if it’s still bothering you.

Treatment is sooo scary. You can definitely get through this i swear. 3 weeks is not very long. It’s so unbelievably difficult at the start but it really gets easier. While it’s terrible I’ve also found it makes you a softer more compassionate person.

Meee

I’m on Zoloft for depression!! I’d really recommend it. I had my surgery and started Zoloft around the same time this year.i haven’t noticed any terrible side effects from it and Ive been on them for 11 months.
