<p>Friday the 28th January was the day he and I started the journey, this was the day he frightened me half to death with a seizure. He said he thought he had blacked out a few times previously but nobody had witnessed them...</p>
<p>Since that date after numerous tests on the 1st March 2011 he was diagnosed with a benign brain tumour. He then went on to have further tests which resulted in brain surgery on the 19th April. </p>
<p>A week in hospital followed the operation, had he had not had a bad seizure after the opp he may have come home sooner. Things were looking good , he was getting stronger each day and then on the 27th April we returned to the hospital for an appointment with his neurosurgeon to be told the devastating news that part of the tumour they removed was malignant.</p>
<p>We were devastated, it was not the news we were expecting to hear :(.</p>
<p>Now he is awaiting 6 weeks of radio and chemo therapy to hopefully make sure this cancer does not return. It has turned our lives upside down.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=422945&AppID=31785&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
