Monday 12th: Gamma Knife go-ahead

Had the MRI scan today, and saw the consultant. He confirmed seven tumours, widely spread, but of a manageable size. We discussed the risks of radio surgery which include potential loss of right-side peripheral vision and epileptic fits - but this is unusual. On the other hand although its not a cure it may serve to damp things down in the brain, so we decided to go ahead. I have to be at the hospital tomorrow at 06.30 for a procedure that will take the best part of the day. Hopefully I'll be back home on Wednesday.

    seriously, it goes w/out saying (why do we say that when we know are going to say the thing anyway?)that you are in our thoughts and prayers today - as ever.
