I was going to say something similar, having lost my mother, my brother,Mike
my brother-in-law and my best friend to cancer I understand how serious
the diagnosis can be.
Have they found it in time for it to be treatable? Chemotherapy can be
effective in the early stages, it doesn't always need an operation.

newspaper pointing out that the interval between diagnosis and follow-up
in some NHS areas is unacceptably long. I will keep my fingers crossed
that it won't apply to your area.

brain switches off when the negatives start appearing..
On the upside had a call from Birmingham's QE hospital today.. in tomorrow
for 2 x ct scans, 2 x mri scans, biopsy of scar tissue on throat from
operation I had last year and they are going into my stomach with a cam as
they are worried about soft tissue..
Currently swimming naked in warm ambrosia custard.. today has been a good

I have had a camera into my stomach. They offered me a local
anaesthetic throat spray or a complete knock-out anaesthetic. I went for
the local and I didn't feel a thing, so you are safe to choose that one
and the recovery time is much quicker which is a bonus.
I hope everything goes OK today.

So that is what is at risk if it continues to grow. At least they are
going to do something about it pretty quickly and then you will know
what you are facing. That must be better than standing in a lukewarm
pot of curry sauce and sinking slowly because you don't know. And if
they do something about it you will have other Christmases after the
next one.

As someone who has gone through some nasty life changing problems that's
the only thing that has kept me going on.
The light at the end of the tunnel might seem never to end but with hope
and strength it will eventually appear.
May the Gods be with you.

Not a good day.. was due to go down at 1pm.. op cancelled at 12:45 due to
there being no available beds! Apparently it's an ongoing issue at
Birmingham QE!! Now booked in on 25th as priority 1st slot. On the
upside Ive had another MRI and theres no change to the tumour. Downsides
are that due to the amount of steroids Im taking to reduce swelling on the
brain Ive gained 4 stone in weight, my ankles are the same size as my
knees, muscle mass is turning to jelly and finding it difficult to walk, I
have the shakes and short term memory is failing fast.
Hard to believe that in May we were cruising around the Med without a worry
in the world..
