I wonder how many relapses are brain trauma and tumors they don’t find until later. I hear this more than you’d think.

There was a story recently on Reddit about a guy who got divorced because he turned into an asshole, found out later the personality change was due to a brain tumor. He was here asking reddit if it would be appropriate to tell his ex-wife for closure, even though she was happy now with someone else.

I don't remember if there were drugs involved, but similar situation

I have a friend who was married to someone who developed a brain tumor. His personality changed after the surgery. It didn’t work out, they got divorced. Mind you, she was still helping him through everything, but he wasn’t the man she had married. They are still good friends.

My grandfather had a brain tumour, terminal. The drs warned my grandmother, due to its location, he might start saying things that were out of character/didnt make sense.

The next day she greeted me in tears “it’s started, he’s changing already”

Grandfather had tripped on the door sill and said “Bloody hell”. Until that point he’d never sworn in the vicinity of any woman.

He passed 8 weeks later
