As I write these entries, I won’t be generalizing. The problems I mention are really very specific to my father’s situation. As far as I know, brain cancer can affect any region of the brain. Because our brain has compartmentalized tasks and brain cancer, at least initially, affects a tiny area, the impact on the person will be different from patient to patient.
In my father’s case, the cancer affects his rear left quarter. It touches on areas of the brain that manage balance, sight, and hearing. However, the cancer also creates inflammation, which affects a wider area. This also causes short term memory loss, emotional instability, and lack of concentration.
