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

Dear max

Thank you for taking the time to let us know how you are.

I'm sending you lots of positive vibes.

love

Debs - how are you?  I remember that you may have brain surgery this year - when may a decision be made on that and could cyberknife be an option for you?  I hope all is fine regarding your throat and you feel well.  Also, how is Dad?  Sorry, lots of questions haha! X

Dearest Max, so good you are home and able to post.

 Once again proving what a sensational lady you are, offering such tremendous support to all. How we do love you.  I will email you soon with my news boring and mundane it may be.  Hugs and kisses Kathy xxx

Kathy ..... I love boring and mundane! Takes me back to normality!! Hope you are ok and speak soon x

Hello Max,

I am so sorry I have not resopnded before noe but I must have missed your post from when you got home. Many apologies. Hope the pain has dissapeared by now and that you are recovering. You are one brave lady. It makes me mad that so many nice people have to suffer so much.  You and Jo (Meekcat) and others, while undergoing treatment still find time to respond to so many on here. If I had my way, I would award you medals for to use a word I think our Jules came up with and that is bouncbackability.

Take care my lovely forum friend, sending best wishes and kind thoughts your way, Brian.

Hello precious angel, have emailed you, so if your not sick of my dribbling....Freddie still going hit, repeat, gave it another thump so CD player still going, it would not dare conk it on  me.  It's only 15 I expect goods  to last me a long time.... I still have clothes I brought here 30 yrs ago and some of them where I was 17yrs old,, bit of emotional attachment do you think or am I just waiting for things to comeback in fashion??

Hi Brian - lovely to hear from you and also lovely to hear the good news of your recent prostrate check-up. Am so pleased for you - its good to hear nice news! 

As there was talk of dogs on several threads in the last few days, I feel compelled to put this new picture of Alfie as my avatar.  It really made me laugh  -  know I am biased, but he is SO cute.  Love to all! x

Hi Max
