Just a reminder, those of us who are grieving, to not forget your own health, my wife died shortly before Christmas, while I have been to busy grieving I did forget about me, I ignored some symptoms as part of my grief and possibly the side effects of antidepressants, yesterday I ended up in A&E, I thought I was having a stroke, not the case, I had missed some changes in my speach and some motor skills, like writing, turns out I hava brain tumour, if I had paid more attention to my health this could have been picked up nearly 2 months ago! Hopefully not too much damage done but I will have to wait and see what happens, so please, thank about your own health!

For anyone that read my posts, my diagnosis has now been changed, straight to palliative care, I have a matter of weeks, so again, listen to your body, if something is not right, go to the doctor

What terrible news and what a horrible time to get such a diagnosis. Not that anytime is good.
I pray you have people around you that can support and love you - don’t know what else to say - life is so cruel sometimes.
Sending much love and hugs xx

How shocking! What a cruel world we live in, I’m devastated for you!
I don’t want to sound insensitive but at least your sufferings both for the loss of your wife and the loss of yours will not go on for to long. Your beautiful wife and angels will be waiting to guide you through your next big adventure. A place where you can hold hands with you wife, smell her hair and snuggle her. A place were there is no pain only love.
I’m sending you all the love in the world, all the strength you will need and my encouragement to be brave.
Thank you for your support on here
Love and hugs xxx

A quick update, for some reason a doctor at the hospital gave information to my gp that wasn’t 100% accurate, I have now seen the head consultant, who has offered a glimmer of hope, they’re going to try intensive chemo, not to cure, but see if it can give me more time, fingers crossed, just wish I’d been given that news at the same time, not 4 days later!

Thank you for keeping us updated .
For those of you who are following what I’m going thru, I have started a course of chemo therapy in a small attempt to give me a little more time, if no improvement after two rounds it will stop and I’ll just make the most of what time I have, regardless, take care of yourselves, and thank you all for your words of support
