First My Husband and Then My Son

First My Husband and Then My Son

Laura

My 59 year old husband was diagnosed with a glio. He only lived seven months later. My 45 year old son is being treated for a glio. (four years). He has had radiation, surgery and chemo three times, still having chemo. In June, 2014 he suffered a stroke caused by the radiation. Is there any information on how to care for a patient that is combative or squeezing an arm. His wife is his caretaker (wonderful) and she is the only one he treats like that. I can not find any information on brain injury that discusses that. He was a very good man and never treated anyone bad.
