Last November Nice brought in that people with Lung Cancer, was to have an MRI Scan, no problem thinks me.
Had my first one and results showed a blip, my Oncologist did no what this blip was, so referred to big Hospital in London. Scans every few month.
On the May Scan a slight growths i was told wait for another scan in August, which i did.
Came back another slight ,this was September the 13th, and then told its not come from the lungs, its a new primary brain tumour.
I could not believe what they where saying.
Its near the optic nerve and if we do nothing you will go totally blind.
I agreed to the operation, which i had it on the 30th September, it was over five hours long.
I have to say woke up like nothing had occurred, not even any pain.
I came home on the second of October, then realised i had lost sight on my right side, they said this may happen.
I could be confused for a while and i have been. could not even turn washing machine on or tv forgot how to do it, but today that has become easier. Thank
has started to get better, thank goodness, i was getting so frustrated.
Today i was back at the big hospital in London.
They got the whole tumour out, and then told its not a New Primary Brain, but infect, had come from the Lungs, the Scans did not show as a lung cancer, it was only when it was out.
So thats me, sorry if spelling mistakes, hard to type.
Otherwise i am doing ok and had a glass of wine tonight i did ask doctor.
Its been a whirl wind, these last last few weeks, i should be back to normal in a few more weeks, do not think i have ever been normal.
My hair has started to grow back
