Enforced FS Break (again) :-(

Recommended Posts

About 6 weeks on from last opp and had final MRI and CT scans this week, after swelling finally reduced enough.

 

Doc said, and I quote...  "Looks like we probably managed to remove the whole obnoxious mass this time".

Although he was optimistic last time too, and I really don't like the word "probably", it does sound and feel very promising indeed:-)

 

I'm a long way from recovERED, still suffering pain that's driving me nuts, and still have some odd motor function issues, but I am recoverING, and would like to thank each and every one of you, for your words, your wishes and your prayers.  They all meant a great deal, and touched my heart.  Seems they ALSO touched my brain it seems;-))))

 

Still be a month or two at least b4 any simming.  Typing this was hard enough;-)  All in all though, things have gone FAR better than me and my family could EVER have hoped for! :dance:

 

Thanks again guys n gals!!!!

So glad to hear such good news from you. You have not been far from many of our thoughts and prayers.

 

Your planes are fueled and waiting for you to take them to the sky.

 

Get well.

That's great news Phil.  At 71, I've had several friends who have gone through cancer treatments and operations and have recovered fully and I know you can do it too.  I was actually thinking of you earlier today as I had not seen any further updates for some time so I was shocked and pleased to see this topic back up and on top again.  Best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery!  My thoughts and prayers are with you for sure!

 

Best wishes,

Glad to see that you're back Phil.  Part of going through something like this is to be just as stubborn as the disease.  Good on ya!  Speedy recovery from all of us!
