Dr. Eric Chevlen answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Oncology

Love, etc.: Listen to her. Keep her company. Love her. Not all brain tumors cause death within months (although, sadly, some do). Learn from her what her prognosis is. If she will be getting treatment which causes hair loss, you can go wig shopping with her before that happens, so she won't feel urgency about it when she loses her hair.
