To be very moved by Tom Parker's inside my head documentary.

Just watched. In tears.
Brave young man.
Very honest but ultimately positive documentary

I'm watching it atm. Not an easy watch in parts.

I was a blubbering mess by the end. A very moving documentary.

Tom Daly, on The One Show, had me in bits tonight. He was talking about his dad, who also died of a brain tumour. He died in 2011, the year before London 2012, and his ashes are buried under the bottom step of the Olympic diving board. Tom always leaves his water bottle on that bottom step and touches it before he climbs up to the 10m platform.

His dad was nagging him to sort out tickets to London 2012. He never made it, but Tom said 'He had the best seat in the house in the end.'

Oh. I can’t watch that. I feel for him and his family so desperately though.

Still missing my DH so much, nearly five years on. It’s my daughter’s birthday soon and she’ll be 10 - half her life lived without her amazing daddy. And my DS struggles with life so much. Things would be so, so much easier if DH was here. I miss his support and love so deeply. I miss him, I miss our marriage. Brain cancer is a despicable thing.

I have a lovely friend with brain cancer, I couldn't watch it.

I was very moved by this too. My daughter has a brain tumour, grade 3, fast growing, but removed with surgery/radiotherapy and monitored now with scans. We have always been so grateful for NOT receiving a diagnosis of glioblastoma - the absolute worst diagnosis (I would say) in the brain tumour world. His strength and dignity (and that of his wife) in facing his diagnosis is humbling.
