So in 5 days time I have the operation to remove the tumour - randomly known as Ian.
Hi Leolady
I had my tumour removed on Tuesday. I actually couldn’t wait as I knew that it would be out. Honestly I was counting down the sleeps, maybe I’m a bit mad!! You don’t want Ian to be there so just think you will be sending him packing very soon. I know I’ve got some results coming on Tuesday so there’s always apprehension but trust me you will feel so much better once the surgery is over. Xx

Thanks for that. Ian’s bags are packed with no offer of a return visit!
Take care

Life is like a boxing match, defeat is declared not when you fall ..... But when you refuse to stand up again ....... So, I get knocked down but I get up again. x

Hi Lindsay
Hi Lindsay,
I was officially diagnosed on 3 Nov and am having op on 29th (days are going by very slowly). I'm not sleeping too bad but like you feel very tired. I'm assuming it's mental tiredness from it being on our minds all the time. I have a 7 year old and am being my usual bubbly self in front of her so that's taking it out of my too.
Like you I'm feeling apprehensive about the op but just want the tumor out. Hope it goes smoothly for you and you have a speedy recovery.

So we can do it

Hi Lindsay
Thank you for your message and lovely words.
Yes tomorrow evening is the day that all will be revealed, I’m ready for it and will know what I’ve got to deal with.
Wednesday Ian will be packed off and you will feel so much better. I will be thinking about you too but know you will be fine and back to singing in your Rock Choir in no time.
Lots of positive thoughts winging their way over to you now
