Thankyou for all your good thoughts & kind words, i had a mate over last night so that kinda kept me busy, was up at 3.30, read for a bit but couldn't get back to sleep.
my windows are now nice and clean and ironing basket is empty.
i am going to drop the kids off with a friend soon then go throu to the hospital where i will be for most of the day,
the neuro bloke says that as tumour is now aggressive and has changed they feel the likelyhood is that it is cancer
i will update later.

Thinking of you and Steve today with every wish for a swift and sucessful operation and a very speedy complete recovery.
Dont know if it will be of any consolation, but my gran had a brain tumour when she was 49, not diagnosed until it had her go into a seizure (and fall off a ladder) and left her paralyzed down her right side...being 1963 they couldnt get the whole tumour out and gave her a prognosis of just 5 years...she was left with almost no after effects apart from walking with a stick for the rest of her life...and lived another 36 years, as she died of heart failure aged 85!!!

I don't really 'know' you onlyjoking but have just seen this and hope everything goes well for your dh today. My Granny also had a brain tumour removed about 20 years ago and is still going strong at 87! I really hope he's ok and you get good results today.

DutchOma · 06/08/2007 10:13

There is lots I want to say but can't find the words (A friend since babyhood was diagnosed with a brain tumour 2 years ago, it's hard to sit and watch and wait )
