One of my colleagues who was made redundant two years ago but still comes into school doing supply cover was diagnosed and had surgery for a massive brain tumour on New Years Eve. The results of the biopsy were due on Thursday, if it was a grade 1-3 cancer he would need to go through radio and chemo. If it was grade four, it was terminal. We haven't heard anything from his wife and I just hope that no news is good news.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers my lovely friend and your wife and children.

Many thanks to all for your positive thoughts. I am keeping everything crossed that when we do hear about the results we have good news. I'll let you all know when I do.

Best wishes,

God be with him!! I have had a similar experience - thankfully 4 of my biopsies came back clear and the 5th was inconclusive. My case (I'm told) was written up in the Lancet!! Here I am 18 months later cancer free but on epilepsy meds & no real diagnosis of what was actually wrong with me. I have partial weakness down one side - I'm very lucky!! It pays to stay positive - so sending positive thoughts & prayers for your friend.

PS - Please tell him about GROUND APRICOT KERNELS!!
PPS - are you a teacher, Lyn??

I'm so glad that things worked out so well for you and send you my bestest wishes for the future.

I have heard about ground apricot kernels when I was going through my treatment for breast cancer but that was as far as it got for me. Have you tried them yourself?

Oh yes, almost forgot to mention, I'm a teaching assistant.
