Hi all, I know that you are wondering what happened to day.  I know you care.  Do not phone me or text because I cannot reply at the moment - very tired.
It is an aggressive tumour.  It won't spread to my body.  It is on the LHS of brain, in the front - the behaviour and speech section.
They will operate early next week (or possibly week after)  I don't know when.
They will remove as much of the mass as possible.  I will have a small part of head shaved, a hole cut in skull.
There is a 6 - 7 % risk of death, which is normal operating risk for someone under a general anaesthetic.
I will spend 3 - 4 days in hospital post operatively.
The operation may affect my speech - the swelling may mean that I cannot talk, and that I cannot understand what is being said to me. 
After the op they will make a biopsy and decide what happens next.  This may be radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy.
At this point the doctors can advise on future prospects.
They are dealing with the removal for a full recovery.

Yes, I am scared! My mum arrives tomorrow.  Max has been brilliant (goes today) and Dave truly outstanding.  Bev is coming too.  I will let you know when it is good to call.
