I'm a guy who never felt this type of compassion. I tell people that recently I even cry at detergent commercials! I know that tumors affect the way our brains react, both cognitively and emotionally. I just wonder if these tears are related to my macro prolactinoma, to my family history, or to other health issues. A friend reminded me that heart patients frequently have changed emotional behaviors, after a cardiac problem is corrected. I've heard of stoic, unemotional men who suddenly become softies, who begin telling their familiy how much they love them. Maybe this is related to high blood pressure that many of us suffer from, a symptom of our tumors. (I'm also being treated for blood clotting and cholesterol issues.) It's not that I cry at the drop of a hat. It does take a stimulus -- maybe watching the news, a sad story, song, or sermon -- for me to begin to weep. I suppose it might be unnerving to people to see a man cry in public: so what? I'm not embarassed. In fact, it feels kind of good to be able to cry. I had "blamed" my brotherly love on my return to the church two years ago, before my tumor diagnosis. But now I'm not so sure. It could be tumor, or it could be genetic. My sister's choir was singing at the funeral of a man she never met. Because the family was weeping, she cried all through the service! Odd family, huh? From the message boards, I see that many of you are affected by depression, anger and wide swings of negative emotions. Are any of you becoming unusually soft-hearted and compassionate? Should we expect our positive emotions to be supercharged?
