Had really bad news today. I have extensive spread in nodes and the cancer has also metastasized to my brain. Gosh this is scary - hubby and I are numb! X
Hello Max, I haven't been able to log on for a few weeks. I'm just catching up on the posts and wanted to send my love and say how sorry I am to read your latest news. I am trying to find the right words. but feel so helpless. I am sending you hugs.
Hi max
Been thinking about you and your big heart, despite your own mo u mental struggle, you still think of others and have a gentle and reassuring word for us all. I just wondered how you were...
Take care

Hello my dear forum buddies - I cant thank you enough for your support and am sorry I have been absent for a while - was a bit lost for a few weeks but now accepting the new situation and coming to terms with it.
I have had the go-ahead for brain cyberknife and have had preparations - the treatment will be on Wednesday this week. I havent felt too well but have had a much better day today thank goodness. Apart from a harsher chemo regime starting on the 13th, I really dont know what else may be done over the next few weeks to try and stabilise me a little - but I will let you know when I can. Our lovely daughter and her boyfriend have decided to marry within the next 3months - so that is wonderful news!
Sending so much love to you all and know that I am so lucky to have you all routing for me. Take care x
Not surprised you needed a bit of time out there..although we missed you!
Delighted they have agreed to a bit of CK and with another bash of chemo. Should give the Big C a "Back off for a bit, I've got a wedding to get to!"
They wouldn't do CK for my boy cos they didn't think he would have long enough to get the benefit of it.. I am really pleased that they have reckoned it's not your time yet!
Bumping along....it took me a long time to find my soul mate and it is VERY hard not to have him around. But I really feel in many ways that he is still with me... the "extra" time we had to make those special memories are priceless. I look forward to seeing those wedding pics of you in your finery!
I am sure you miss him terribly and equally as sure that he is still with you. You look as though you were having a fab night out on your picture! Night sueps, sleep well x
Good to read your update and for such a brave lady you deserve the best treatment out there to give you the best quality of life possible. No apologies needed as regard absence (I really don't know how you keep getting 'your head round things') besides you do, and have still been, supporting others on the forum (including me) - thank you does not seem enough in the scheme of things.
Sending love and big hugs for today, tomorrow and all the days ahead. What a wonderful day to look forward to - love a good wedding - congrats to the happy couple. Keeping you in my thoughts. Jules xxxx
Hi Max, just read your post about you getting started on your procedure and treatment. I'll be thinking of you in the coming weeks and wishing you the best care possible. Post when you can, and when you can't, we'll still be out here pulling for you. Just remember, we will be joining hands tomorrow, (Feb. 4/15 World Cancer Day) and interestingly enough, that is the day you have treatment. We really are out here holding both your hands in our circle of virtual friends. You're certainly not alone.
All the best my friend and lots of hugs coming your way.
