Hi EveryoneFor all you guys who helped me get throught the tough time when I had my brain tumor discovered, here is an update!I just returned from the doctor in charge now and he did some tests and he said that it looks like the tumor is gone. All my hormone levels are back to normal now so now I can continue my life like normal. I still have to do a MRI and a blood test to make sure but the future looks good for me! :-)I still will not be able to fly because I have to keep taking medication so now I am going towards a career in 3D design.I really want to thank everybody who responded to me and who helped me get through this with a lot of good advice.THANK YOU!Take careMike

That sounds pretty good news Mike.Ben

Im still new here Mike but Im glad your health is much brighter. Went through a bad patch with the ticker (heart) a few months back, in and out of hospital, plus a new baby, (my wife had that!!!) but all seems well for me now.To a healthful futureSteveMach 2 for fun!My Downloads Are:Liverpool EGGP John Lennon Airport UKhttp://ftp.avsim.com/library/sendfile.php?DownloadID=17455www.yourspaceormine.comhttp://www.btinternet.com/~stephen_g_brown/steve.jpg

plus a new baby, (my wife had that!!!) :-lol Really? I'm sorry but that just made me laugh.....maybe because I am in such a good mood!!! I'm glad that you too have a healthy future...I actualy went into depression for a while not because I had a tumor...(taht was just pain in the butt) but because I could not become a pilot. That hit me below the belt when Transport Canada said "NO WAY!"I have accepted now that Aviation will be a hobby for me so now I am getting more serious about this wonderful hobby!Take careMike

Wow same here with the depression too... the rest of the guys will think we are un healthy twins.Still got the depression but this hobby is helping.Mach 2 for fun!My Downloads Are:Liverpool EGGP John Lennon Airport UKhttp://ftp.avsim.com/library/sendfile.php?DownloadID=17455www.yourspaceormine.comhttp://www.btinternet.com/~stephen_g_brown/steve.jpg
