2.30am here (am a brit but living in Australia just now) and am just back from hospital.

For about 3 weeks i have had a constant headache down one side of my head, and other symptoms like a strange taste in my mouth, and a numbing sensation in my arms that comes and goes, as well as a general 'disjointed' feeling of not quite being here

I am on uber strength painkillers, but as soon as they wear off, the pain comes back, so tommorow i need to have a MRI scan, to check for a possible brain tumor as it would explain all the symptoms.

i am terrified. i have most beautiful 10 month old daughter, and i want to see her grow up


so this is what scared REALLY feels like ...



:(
 
thanks guys. i walked home at night, alone, about 3 miles, and i suddenly realised that i am a long, long, long way from home, but i knew everyone on here would tell me like it is

thanks for all your kind words


:)
 
have had the scan done, am now jsut waiting on the results. they wont jsut tell me, i have to go to the hospital, and speak to some dude about it


will keep you posted


many, many thanks for everyones support, it has really lifted me


:)

Do you have any plans?

Counselling? Reading about death? Support groups?

Anything you want to do with your daughter?
Have you any ideas on how to tell her?

I'm truly sorry to hear your news. :(

I do believe 100% though that death is not the end, and the mind is a separate thing to the body. I know to some people that just sounds nuts, but its my own personal belief.

Please stay strong, and we will all continue to think positive thoughts for you. :)

This is just terrible news... I'm very sorry and saddened to hear the results came back such :(

I wish you all the best fighting this...


Just a thought: maybe someone could set up a paypal email that we can send donations to TB through?? You know maybe we could pool together and get him a crazy experience thing or at least a great bottle of whisky to enjoy!?

thats a very very kind thought, but one that would embarras me. the best thing everyone could do, is to be themselves, and keep posting on here like the bunch of nutters you are, its here that keeps me grounded and in the realms of reality, as it does for so many of us.

at this point, it seems fitting to thank everyone who has wished me well, and who makes this such a fun place, and to the Dons and Spie who dont police this place with too much of a heavy hand, and make this the last true place of escapism for all of us.

thank you all

:)

Toryglen-boy, I'm not trying to make you out to be a charity case.

But if things take a turn for the worse, and you want to do something but can't afford it - I will very happily donate some money to you.

I've had a couple members of family die of cancer, and they didn't find out until the last minute when things took a turn for the worse. So I can say I think I know what it's like, seeing somebody wanting to do something, but can't - whether due to lack of funds, or mobility.

Once again - I am NOT trying to make you out as a charity case.
