I dont know you Tory Boy, but I just wanted to add my best wishes in your fight with everything that lays ahead. Please let us know how you are getting on, and lots of love to you and your daughter.

As someone once said:-

Work like you don't need the money
Dance like no one is watching
Love like you've never been hurt
Live your life to the fullest.
Dance as if no one were watching,
Sing as if no one were listening,
And live every day as if it were your last.
 
Don't know what to say, but it sounds weird but i think i'd just try and forget about the thing as i wouldn't want to carry on thinkin about what *might* happen. I say see your daughter loads, quit your job and go travelling.

But i'm very sorry to hear about it, i don't know what kind of courage it takes to try and come to terms with something like that, but you've got it.
 
aware this might get the OMG MEDICAL CRACKDOWN from the dons, so I apologise in advance if this is the case, but situations noted, I think I can get away with it.

My cousin, just after his 4th birthday was diagnosed with a brain tumour on the stem of his brain, they said that he could die imminently.... but my family never gave up, and at one point they went to see people at harvard university who wanted to try a pioneering operation to try and remove the tumour. Sadly they got there too late, and they said it was impossible to operate and he died just after his 5th birthday.

The point behind all that above, is that even when one expert says 'im sorry' there are others out there who might be able to help, in some way, shape, or form.....

It might be worth us on OCUK having a search round on the internet to see if there is a similar thing that might be on offer for yourself, however, I respect that you may not want this to happen, and as such, ignore if required.

As many others have said, chin up mate, and keep yourself positive so you can enjoy life as much as you can
 
Oh my goodness :( I still remember how devastated I was when I was with a patient and the consultant broke the news to her that her old breast cancer (which she thought was in complete remission) had metastasised to her brain. She was completely oblivious beforehand and was in such good spirits. I can't remember the last time I felt that upset.

Of course, like everyone else, my thoughts are with you, Toryglen Boy, just from reading your posts around OcUk you sound like a thoroughly decent fella :) And I'm glad to see you seem to be in perhaps better spirits, given your last few posts in this thread.

And I'll be counting on that 25% :)

Can't really find the words, but I really feel for you.

Hope things get better, and you get your wish.

Scort.
 
Enough talk about death cos its not going to happen... Not on my watch.

Lets offer some humour here...


A local muslim lad was doused in petrol and set on fire the other day.

We are having a whip-round for his family...

So far, we have 50 gallons.
 
Sorry it's not better news Tory-glen boy, keep up the fight, there's always hope and new developements.

And laughter really does release good energy into your system so you're in the right place here on GD :)
So....

Not to detract from the OPs situation, but you're a jackass.

Much sympathy for the OP.
 
Sorry to hear that mate, your high spirit is a real inspiration! I wish you all the best with the treatment and the future, as already said we'll all be thinking of you :D. Make sure you eat well :).

That exact same thing happened to my mums best friend. Was several years ago now though. Wasn't a large colorful woman called Kate was it? :eek:


To the OP, I'm sorry to hear about your results. Fight it hard enough though and you have a good chance of getting through it. I'll be thinking of you and your family :)
 
Hey man, I can't begin to feel what you're feeling right now but my thoughts go towards you, I hope everything works out okay.

I'm guessing most of us here feel the same when I say I wish I could do more for you :)

Keep us updated please!
