Oh no, poor Davina McCall.

She does so much to promote women’s health issues. So sad to hear she has a brain tumour. It shows that you really never know what is around the corner. It sounds like it’s operable and as positive as it can be in the circumstances but I’m really sad for her.

no real point to the post I know but..

Me too. Awful comment.

Shes had the surgery today, they just said on the news. Hope it's gone well.

Yes and that's how the the thread started out until the numpties came along and made stupid comments. People are clarifying because they're angry at the dismissiveness, not because they find some satisfaction in bringing up negative aspects.

I think people who have tumours/cancers/terminal or difficult diseases generally already know it's not going to be a walk in the park.

As I said, I wish Davina, and anyone else dealing with this sort of ill health, all the best. But no, I'm not going to sugarcoat everything on a discussion thread. Firstly because it's not necessarily helpful, and secondly because sadly that's not real life and sometimes facts need to be faced into, not brushed under the carpet.

Well one things for sure, there hasn't been much sugar coating on here.

Glad the op went well and hope her recovery goes well.

Well no, there hasn't, because of people who decided to be twatty about it; there was no need for that.

I'm also glad the op went well and hope Davina feels well and back to full health very soon!
