Phil, sorry that I really didn't get to know you, but all I have to say for a quick cure and recovery is that you stand in front of the mirror, raise your right hand and proceed to raise your middle finger.  For good measure, make sure you have an angry look on your face.  You'll scare the heck out of that darned tumor and it will never return again. :)

 

I wish you all the luck I have that you recover soon.

Looking forward to getting back home in a few weeks, and maybe upgrading my elderly FS hardware if I can afford it.

 

Its been a looooong hard slog to recovery, leaving some permanent reduction in motor & sensory function but hey, I'm alive while so many friends are not!

 

My surgery was controversial and filmed for UK & possibly French TV. Will post an amazing and gruesome link when available;-)
