Incurable Brain Tumours

Praying for a miracle here bud, best of luck with the operation and everything. You're mates sound absolutely top though, you're in good hands :) Good luck trying for kids too!
 
All I would add is that the odds are not always the same as the outcome. I saw a 40 year old lady early this year who has had a grade 4 astrocytoma since 2005.

NEVER give up.


Good luck, blue.
 
keep the faith blue and keep strong, hopefully you can beat it!

thoughts are with you mate and your family.

Hello all.
I have recently been diagnosed with one of these.
not really sure why i'm putting it on here, i'm not looking for sympathy or anything, i suppose i just need to write it down somewhere, so here we go.

a month ago i was taken into hospital with very strange confused like symptoms, kind of like i was having a nervous breakdown or something. after scans at Tameside revealed there was something on my brain, it was down to hope hospital 5 days later for the operation to remove it, and get it under the microscope.
Turns out its a grade 4 tumour, which is as bad as they get, and although the surgeon did remove everything he could see, its a really aggressive tumour, and will definately come back again.
so now i'm waiting basically. got an appointment at some point next week for my facial mould for when i'm having radiotherapy, and then waiting for my actual treatment to start. got 6 weeks of chaemotherapy and radiotherapy, got to have that everyday, and then re-scan to make sure its gone for now.

I'm 28 years old, got no kids of my own (2 stepkids) although we are doing everything in the next 4 weeks to get pregnant that we can ;D, although i will definately freeze it if not.
I'm currently planning a very quick wedding which everybody is helping out with as i was not planning on marriage yet, so there are people helping out all over the place.
Unfortunately for me my house and life aren't insured, so i've paid a mortgage for the last 5 years for bugger all, although my best mate has promised to keep it tenanted for me when i'm not here, so that the mrs and kids have got at least a little something to get on the ladder.
friends and family are amazing. My best mate has well stepped up, he's ran me, my girlfriend and my mum round everywhere. he's not missed one appointment. the rest of my friends have been ace, one is fixing my car up to sell it as i've been banned from driving since surgery (2 years), another offered me his Noel Gallagher ticket for free, a load of people throwing in for the wedding etc, its been fantastic, and makes me realise how important i am to people.
Man City have been fantastic, this was actually organised on mancityfans.net which i'm a regular;

Slim sorted that out for me which was amazing, and there is a little more going on behind the scenes at City that i can't say right now, but you'll probably see at some point, thanks to Tudor, Danny Wilson and my old man for that. I honestly couldn't ask for anymore tbh.

the way i'm feeling now is quite unreal. i feel amazing. no pain, no worries, etc. it'll be hard to imagine how i'm actually going to get ill, how its gonna feel an that, how quickly will i deteriorate etc? madness. i honestly think they've made a mistake. a misdiagnosis or summat? unbelievable.

I will keep you updated as we go on in this thread with how treatment etc goes and what not.

thanks

dont give up fella, there is always hope

i have spent the last 3 months waiting for my sister to die, 46, alcoholic, liver packed in twice, docs gave her 2 days.

she`s up on her feet now, the docs dragged her back and her friends and family chipped in and i think she put a bit a graft in herself, she`s not out of the woods yet but she`s happier than she has ever been.

always hope dude and you`ll be right, good luck
 
To the OP

You sound like a great lad.

Don't know what else to say really, other than I thought your original post remarkable in it's absence of anger, and a 'heads up' kind of message to anyone.

Good luck. Xx
 
Goes without saying mate, that that's gutting to hear and we all send you our best wishes.

But we're all knocking about here, so you've got a load of people who can help out. I'm sure there's enough lawyers, advisors, skilled people of all sorts who can help you out in whatever way you can. Hey, I'm sure if you need help with your wedding, there's plenty of people on here you can ask for help.

Basically mate, we're all around here chatting sh!t and trying to recover from the shock of the demise of the Fact of the Day, so we're all trying to focus on something positive.

Tell us what we can do for you, and we can help out mate. Don't be too proud to ask any of us for any sort of practical help.

We're all here for you every step of the way.
