Title: Prayers for my brother please
Post by: xxMAIRxx on April 02, 2009, 08:43:06 AM
I don't normally start topics, more of a reply to topics person, but I am hoping the positive aura of posting here will help.

It has not been an easy few years for me, losing my mum to cancer 2 years ago and within a year after that my brother being diagnosed with the same cancer she had at the age of 34.

He has been fighting for a little over a year and has been doing well but a few weeks ago he had severe headaches and after a brain scan was told the cancer had spread to his brain.

He is having surgery at noon today to remove the tumour which is deep in his brain and I am a nervous wreck.

I know myself I will be praying like crazy, the side effects associated with this type of brain surgery are huge and I will be praying that he comes through.

Can you all please  put him in your thoughts and prayers today.

Thanks


Mary

I won't be praying Mary but I'll certainly be hoping for all the luck in the world for you, your brother and the surgeon.

I only know too well what you are going through Mair

Big strength to all concerned is needed now and Crying your eyes out at times does make you feel better, but doesn't take away the fear of the unknown or the current situation....

Be Big, be Strong,Be Brave and finally just be there for your brother and the rest of the family,

but make sure somebody is there for YOU ...

Mary, I really hope your brothers operation is a success. They must think its worth a shot or wouldnt be doing it. My uncle had a brain tumour removed and he is fine years later.

I'm thinking about you, your family and your brother and wish very hard that it all okay. xxx

Thank you all so much for your messages of support.  The power of positive thought is a magical thing and I am very pleased to say he came through the surgery well.  I was very frightened as the neurosurgeon said the op would take 2 hours, 5 hours later we were still waiting on him coming out of theatre, was scary!

He is awake, and alert with a headache and talking 90 miles an hour (so like a Scotsman lol) and fingers crossed he will continue to do well and show no signs of any problems.  Will find out more today when I visit him.

Once again, thank you so much

Thx every1 :)

I went in to see him today, I couldnt believe it, there he is sititng up in bed smiling away with his itouch beside him and his phone happy as anything.  His neurosurgeon calls him his "star pupil" no seizures, no loss of sight, and no loss of the use of his limbs on the right hand side, which were all the problems that he faced during and after the operation.

It was lovely to see him looking so well and he has even been stuffing his face, he woke up from the anaesthetic and told the nurse he was starving lol.

All going well he has been told he should get out on Monday :)

Thanks so much again for all those positive thoughts they did him the world of good xxxxxx

Superb news cuz,

pass on my good wishes xx

Geo

Will do Cuz :)
