Dad Update - email to people

Hello everyone.

Not the best news but the expected news nonetheless. Dad met with Mr S and Prof C on Friday and the results of the scan show that he does need to have surgery. The tumour in question has grown quickly and is what is causing the balance and speech problems. It was 10mm a year ago and now it is 2.7cm; it’s solid and it needs to come out. There was talk about waiting till after the baby is born but after a family conflab it was agreed that the little bugger should come out as soon as possible which is what Prof C says is the best course of action. Dad is going to contact them tomorrow to tell them this and I suspect that dad will be admitted quite soon.

Obviously there are risks with the surgery and they all sound horrendous but there is the chance that he’ll be fixed and as good as new. So once more, please put your positive thoughts; prayers; ask the universe… what ever it is you do... (probably best to avoid any pacts with the devil) to ask that all’s well that ends well.

Love to you all

Sending prayers your way...for your dad and for your whole family.

There was a post that I had missed, about your dad calling you and your feelings. It's so true, but I really think people can't understand unless they've been there.
