For a few days....

I had been having sever headaches for 4 or 5 days which my Doctor diagnosed as a long migraine and prescribed Immotrex.

My wife and father-in-law took me to the emergency room on Sunday night / Monday morning where I had a cat scan. Turns out it turns out it wasn�t a true migraine after all.

The migraine was caused by a brain tumor.

The Doctor cut my head open and removed it.

He said it was the size of a silver dollar it most likely was a 2 on a scale of one to 4 for malignancy...with 1's not getting further treatment. But I think I�m going to get radiation treatment. And the preliminary pathology offers a good prognosis but the Doctor form the emergency room, who is on of the best in So Cal, is sending the results to the Mayo Clinic to be finalized.

Ouch... how are you coping? Feel better and drink lots of non-alcoholic fluids.

Whiner.

So, do you feel any different after brain surgery? I bet you're pissed that you won't be able to use the "I have a headache" excuse to escape your husbandly duties anymore. And scared that they secretly implanted some sort of FBI listening device in your head.

(Kidding, of course. [Smile] )

FUUUCK! Wiz, you bastard! I was gonna use that joke!

Holy Jumpin' Jellybean! Glad you caught it (scary as I'm sure it is for you- new baby and all).
Radiation treatments have come a looong way in recent years- the old days of scary rad-sickness are mostly over, so dont get sick(er) with worry over that.

I guess you have something to really be thankful for tomorrow, right? [Wink]

So: Will they let you keep the piece of brain they cut out? (a Simpsons joke)

The odd thing

As I understand where it was it was somewhere just behind the right eye... I don�t remember much about what happened about the procedure at all.

I don�t remember getting the cat scan, I remember something about my pants and then waking up in the ICU with someone asking me what my wife�s name was.

And me thinking, why do you want to know?

OMG....

I'm so sorry to hear about that.....

Are you okay? I mean, emotionally? There have been a few times that I've been sent in for testing to check for a brain tumor in the last year, and just testing alone scared me to death. I can't imagine what you've gone through.....

You'll be in my prayers, and I'm thinking of you... I'm here for ya is there's anything I can do for you....

I thought they had to keep people conscious during brain surgery. So they know if they poke the wrong bit.

If they did poke the wrong bit, he wouldn't feel it anyway since the brain itself doesn't have any nerve endings.
