living in the aftermath of a brain tumour!

As a close knit family we knew there was something wrong with my father when he couldnt remember his only grandsons name! and later on that week he forgot his own phone number! we were all worry and encouraged him to go to a doctor! the doctor put it down to anxiety but we all pushed anyway for an mri and thank god we did! my father had a brain tumour and we had caught it earlyish!! we went to public doctors who all said they could not be certain when they could remove it etc etc and gave excuse after excuse but with each minute that passed this tumour was growing! so we decided it was time to go private!! we did and within 4 weeks my dad had been operated on they had removed the tumour and were ready to begin radium and cheomothearapy!its been a very long hard slogg for my dad but his memory is getting better everyday and hes getting back to normal appart from having to go the hospital everyday for treatment!

It was such a devestating blow that hit our family at first, but it's actually brought us all closer together and we see light at the end of the tunnel!

were now hoping and praying and waiting on the test result and the mri scan to let us know how all of this is going!! so fingers crossed(gosh do u know how hard it is to type with your fingers crossed!! lol) only kidding. but i thought i just needed to tell why i havent been writing lately!!
