Please read with caution it’s not the best news therefore
perhaps ensure you have someone around for support, if needed.
The name of the tumours is Astrocytic which is sometimes known as glioblastoma multiform (GBM)
depending on the grade (severity – 1-4). Mine is grade 4: the most aggressive.
If you want to understand and explore related information around this I recommend
the Macmillan.org.uk site. The likely treatment being radiotherapy (where’s
your best man when you need him?). Cause ‘unknown’; genetic predisposition ‘unlikely’ (though mum
died as a result of complications from lymphoma ) ‘their presence may have only
been a short time; months’ as indicated
by the onset of symptoms, how long they have been there is impossible to say for certain.
Another post tomorrow
after seeing the oncologists

DeleteOk that's a bummer. Advice doesn't change, be strong, be positive. Those with a positive outlook have a more positive outcome - FACT!
ReplyDeleteAggressive can also mean it responds faster/better to treatment.....
My personal realization from Chris's situation is that Life is too short. So get that mobile phone, open that brewery ( or just drink it dry, whichever is your preference) buy that open top sports car and last but not least indulge that hat habit.
Anything we can help with just let us know
You talk sense.
DeleteHi Neil, thinking of you today. John is keeping a look out on the Jack website but they haven't got any forthcoming Cambridge gigs so have posted a couple of You Tube videos on your facebook.
ReplyDeleteI know you have lots of great support from both your families but if there's anything we can do let us know.
Well done on commenting! John and I will have to do some gigs either way.
Deletedear neil, anne, joseph, felix and rory
