We Talk Brain Tumours

Hi Pete,

Just wanted to let you know I'll be thinking of you tomorrow - I'm sure you will give Ali the wonderful send-off she deserves. Hope everything goes exactly as you want it to.

Best wishes, and lots of love,

Debbie xxxx

Hi Pete, Thinking of you and all of yours and Ali's family and friends today.

Naomi, Lots of love and strength x I know what these teenage girls are like xxx

Good morning to all.

Pete, I will be thinking of you today mate. Take care, Martyn.

Dear Pete, I have been thinking of you today ((((((hug))))))) Julie xx

Just wanted to update about my Dad. It's been a difficult week. 

Monday he went with my mum for his scan results (following 6 weeks chemo and radio)-it proved inconclusive, but showed signs of 'something' around the gbm. The dr said it could be the dye left from treatment or new growth, but to watch for any symptoms. Next scan due in 3 months (think that seems to be standard). My Dad's taken it bad and has been terribly depressed. Then on Weds he totally lost it with my mum- this temper was one of the only signs (looking back) that showed there could be something wrong before diagnosis. My Mum says it was horrific, he threatened some horrible things and she was terrified. Must just add in here that she took the drs advice from the beginning and didn't google this horrid disease and therefore is a little in the dark as to where this path will take my Dad. 

I then said that it wasn't him, it was the tumour and now I think I've scared her more, as it means she has to accept that his journey maybe quite a bit shorter than they were hoping for. My Dad did appologise the next day, but obviously he's now even more depressed because he knows the reason he lost his temper. 

I hate this blooming thing. Made all the worse by me having yet another cold and missing out on a small family gathering tomorrow (with my nephew on a fleeting visit home from uni) as Dad is due for more chemo next week. 

Love and strength to everyone x

Thank you all for your thoughts today.  We had a beautiful and emotional two services (cremation and remembrance service).  The weather was kind to us, but cold.

It was wonderful to a a church full of old friends and strangers, but all who knew and were touched by Ali's life.

I feel drained, but about to go out to a family event where we can all get together before some of them fly back to America again.

I can't wait to get back to our bed though.

Peace and comfort to all.

Hi Pete,

My thoughts are with you tonight. May Ali Rest in Peace.   You look after yourself.

Take care and be safe Sarsfield.
