All the best to you and your family. Will be thinking of you x x

onlyjoking my thoughts are with you and your family.
Can I just say (although probably not much comfort) that I worked a placement in Neurosugery theatres and they are truly the most talented, dedicted, committed, professional surgeons I have ever seen, and I was constantly in awe of the miracles they performed.

Your dh will be in good hands I am sure x

i am bloody angry that it has all draged on and they were telling us it was slow growing so unlikly to be cancer. they were due to rescan after 3 months we ended up waiting 6 bloody months and now they are saying it is most likey cancer.
it is a joke, and so not funny.

not a lot to say really they haven't given us any prognosis yet, just that it has got worse.
