temporal lobe cancerMy story is long and my typing is bad. It all started in 2002 with kidney cell carcinoma. Then to 2004
with lung cancer from the kidney. Then 2005 with a cerebellum tumor. Then 2007 with another inner tumor of the brain where the spinal fluid is made. Next came another cerebellum tumor this summer and now I have been told I have two tumors of the temporal lobe. I had spinal knife for the second tumor but am being told that it will not work on these new tumors. They are talking about removing my left temporal lobe completely. I have been doing a lot of reading trying to stay ahead of everything. But for once I am scared of this being the final battle. I just turned 56 in July. Have been married 34 years to a loving wife and have two sons 27 and 21. I still have lung tumors also but we have been using SUTENT to fight them and have been on it for over 3 years. It works on the lungs but not the brain. Does anyone know of anyone who has had their lobe removed. What where the effects? Is it worth going through ? I am ready to call it quits. I don't want my wife to have to become a bed nurse and I don't want to see my boys suffer for my sake.These tumors are located in my right lobe. They will affect my speaking,language,listening, reading and writing. I will also have a severe problem recalling words and names. I am a strong Christian follower and love the Lord. But like I said I am scared this time. Please any help would be appreciated.
