My husband had a seizure today... went to a and e and he's been diagnosed with a brain tumour....

We have 3 kids, 23, 15 and 13... they youngest are autistic and are already struggling post pandemic.

I have had to leave him to come home so I can sleep and talk to the kids tomorrow.

I love him so much and am so so scared

So pleased the scan result was good. Thinking of you and your family today. ♥️

I haven't read the full thread yet, only the Op's messages.
I had an absence seizure in July, and was diagnosed with a non malignant tumour in the lining of my brain at the front in October following an MRI. Had quite a few seizures for the next couple of months, both absence seizures and ones where I lost consciousness, but the anti epilepsy meds then kicked in and I've only had one since December.
It is one hell of a shock. Not being able to drive was the worst, along with work (the NHS!) trying to terminate my contract before hastily backtracking. My memory is not great though whether that's due to the tumour or menopause/age/stress, I don't know, but I was a few minutes late doing something not particularly important at work the other day, and have been summoned to a disciplinary meeting.
I qualify for PIP, and as I work in a location not well served by public transport, Access to Work pays taxis to and from work, less a contribution from me, so do look into that.

My partner has also just had a seizure and the scans have shown a brain tumour. Specialist referral has kicked in quickly and we are really hoping it’s treatable
