We Talk Brain Tumours

Thanks for your kind messages.

Dad has had another setback as he developed pneumonia this morning. He's looking pretty unwell and is back in neuro HDU. As if recovering from major brain surgery wasn't enough he now has this hurdle to get through too. I hope we find him looking a bit brighter tomorrow after a night of more antibiotics & treatment. He looked pretty unwell when we left him this evening. Right now it feels like 'one day at a time' but I am desperate just to get him better from a post-op point of view and get him home with us.

Hard sad days indeed xx

Hi Green Tree, your post is very sad and I'm sorry your dad is struggling so much.  One day at a time is all you can do but hopefully the medication will work and put your dad on the right road to recovery - may I say your obvious love for him shines through, so be strong and remember you're always welcome on this thread xxxx

Hi Mandy,

I hope you remember contacting me some time ago after I posted about my mum fighting Brain Tumours and Cancer in her Liver and Kidney.

Unfortunately Mum lost her battle at the beginning of this month and I miss her terribly. Her cancer had spread to the cavity in her brain and could not be managed or cured.

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for getting in touch in October and sending me your well wishes. Just having 1 listner on the site made a big difference.

I hope things are going better for you and your family and I will try and keep up to date with your story on the site.

Thank you, LisaS

That was really thoughtful of you to write such a post, especially at such a sad time for you.  I hope you find some comfort in knowing your mum was surrounded by those who loved her and that now she is at peace.  I know these words are probably of little comfort at the moment and the loss must be raw and huge - I can only say that if I was able to help when you needed it then I am pleased that somehow experiences from this awful illness have allowed me to help someone else.  Take care of yourself now, your mum would want that - and come back here and catch up anytime xx

PS Lisa - I have received an email that you requested me as a friend, I don't want you to think I am ignoring you but my email doesn't allow me to follow the link, so I've copied and pasted it into the web browser and it comes up with an error page and I can't for the life of me find out how to see where you've requested this on this site - if you'd like me to accept your friend request perhaps you could guide me!!!!!!  Thanks x

My deepest condolences to Caroline.  It is so sad to hear that another person has lost their flight with this awful disease.  Thinking of you Caroline at this very sad time.

Lots of (((((((((((hugs)))))))))))) to you.  You and Wietz have been amazingly strong but now you can be at peace that Wietz is free from all the pain.

Lots of love Nicky, Amelia and Milly xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello everyone,

So pleased to have found this thread again.

CH and Dot, myself and my family send you all our love at this awful time. Both W and R put up an amazing fight and stuck two fingers up to this pointless terrible terrible disease.

Thinking of you always

Becca and Family xxxxx

To both CH and Dot, I can't believe that I'm doubling up this post. What incredibly sad news that I've just found out. As many others have said - they are both free from suffering now - that's the blessing. But thinking of you both loads at this difficult time.
