    I am miserable. Some of you may recall my posting from earlier on Thursday. Well, things have taken a turn for the worse. My radiologist (who is a doctor) has revised his diagnosis and now suspects that I have a small, probably malign (evil), tumor in my brain, which is an opinion my eye doctor (who started the whole thing) and my neurologist seem to share. My beloved future wife has heard the news, but noone else has. I will put off informing the rest of my family until Monday, because we will probably know more by then. I just cannot stop thinking about death and what might happen, and I thought that posting it might take some of the pressure off me. Wish me luck, I'll strive to keep you guys posted. When I come to think about it, instead of wishing me luck, go and help Rex!

        I don't know what to say, except the very best of luck. By the way who Rex, surely not the referenced beloved future wife? :) :)

          Don't give up! My sister was given a period of time to live when I was young. I'm now 28, she's still doing good, and her son is all grown up and left home. So keep positive, your family and friends will see you through the tough times.

            Rex is Code Frog; a remarkable man with an extremely unwell daughter, and she's an adorable cutie (not that that is relevant in any way, it just does Rex good to know that others think that way as well).

                  No matter what the prognosis, one way to tip the scales in your favor is a positive attitude. You HAVE to be 100% sure you will beat this. Focus on something in your life and say "I have to be around for ..." A positive attitude and outlook (as well as faith, if religious) is essential to get through this (or any dark times). Keep your head up, and we'll be waiting for the post where you inform us that you just got a clean bill of health. Best wishes and strength for you and your family. :rose:

                              Other than wishing you the best, I don't really know what to say, other than to definitely seek out friends and family to talk this stuff over with. Also, I've always like this quote from "Gladiator" (I don't know if they stole it from somewhere else): I knew a man once who said, "Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back."

                                As a disabled person and a transplant patient of 18 years I have arrived at the point where even routine medical stuff dentists and cataracts are something of a challenge not just because of the fact that things could go horribly wrong but because none of them want to be the one that tips the balance. So yeah I can understand the I'm just waiting around to die feeling but you know what F**k it that's just a low point, admittedly a depressing low point but a low point, bide your time, get through it and on the upswing that future beloved wife you mentioned be with her 100% Good luck geting that thing out of your head and if they can't then be alive every second.

                                    I am miserable. Some of you may recall my posting from earlier on Thursday. Well, things have taken a turn for the worse. My radiologist (who is a doctor) has revised his diagnosis and now suspects that I have a small, probably malign (evil), tumor in my brain, which is an opinion my eye doctor (who started the whole thing) and my neurologist seem to share. My beloved future wife has heard the news, but noone else has. I will put off informing the rest of my family until Monday, because we will probably know more by then. I just cannot stop thinking about death and what might happen, and I thought that posting it might take some of the pressure off me. Wish me luck, I'll strive to keep you guys posted. When I come to think about it, instead of wishing me luck, go and help Rex!

                                    Story: A friend of mine, back in the late 80's started to trip over things for no reason. Started to happen more and more. He'd also lose balance, vison got screwy...he wound up with a fairly large tumor on his brain, much as the small tumor you fear you have. Surgery..great! He's doing fantastic and you'd never know it. One of the smartest, most brilliant persons I ever had the pleasure to work with and have as a friend. Be positive, healing starts in the heart and mind. You'll be fine...believe it, live it! I do.

                                      Thanks for the info, I'm fairly new to CP and wasn't aware. Think positive!!

                                        Other than wishing you the best, I don't really know what to say, other than to definitely seek out friends and family to talk this stuff over with. Also, I've always like this quote from "Gladiator" (I don't know if they stole it from somewhere else): I knew a man once who said, "Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back."
