BRAIN CANCER AND NOW A LUMP IN MY NECK

In August 2007 i had a meningioma removed which was bigger than a golf ball and grade 2/3

which is pretty dangerous but the surgeon got the whole thing out so i have survived.

now i have a small non painful lump in the right side of my neck and am having a ct scan, an mri scan and meeting the specialist to give me the daunting results!

I am an optimist and am confident that there is nothing sinister there but the waiting is the worst.

should you have symptoms of a brain tumour [mine was an epileptic attack] just make sure you

get immediate attention because these days most things are treatable.

good luck
