My brother has been diagnosed with a brain tumor

So as the title says. Last week my brother, 39, was diagnosed with a brain tumor in his left frontal lobe. Over the last month the symptoms started, he was having weakness down one side of his body, debilitating headaches, blurry vision. He was becoming disorientated and slurring his words, his blood pressure was also consistently high. A month ago he was completely fine.

​

He is waiting for a further scan to see what type of tumour and if it's cancerous or not, but I'm so worried because of how fast his symptoms have come on and worsened. Does anyone have any advice or has dealt with this?

​

Our whole family is in pieces, I'm trying to keep everyone's spirits up but I'm fucking terrified of losing my brother, and as I say with how quick the symptoms have come on and worsening its terrifying me. Over the last few days alone he's losing vision in his one eye.

Thank you
