I have just heard by group e-mail from a friend that he has a brain tumour. I haven't quite processed it properly yet and have gone into practical mode. He wasn't specific in his e-mail except to say "the surgical team were very positive about the outcome".
He sent the e-mail to all his mates because he gets tired. He also mentioned he has a Macmillan Nurse. Don't patients have Macmillan nurses when the prognosis is terminal?
He is a friend of nearly 20 years but becuase of changing circumstances, continents etc, I haven't seen him for years. I am going to phone him soon because I obviously don't want to e-mail him and ask him about malignancy, prognosis and treatment.
Anyone experienced this scenario?
Apologies that this is so garbled, my heart is working faster than my brain at the moment. I am logging of now, but will read any replies (please) tomorrow.
