JGG's Wifely up date
Thanks to all who posted replies to my last posting, VERY much appreciated.
First visit to specialist at the Radcliffe (Oxford) yesterday (wed 5th). Also our first viewing of the scans. 
Upshot is that Sara does have an invasive mass (possibly cancerous but otherwise unknow, specialist have never seen its likes before) in/on the outer
rear edge of her right hand cerebral cortex, approximately the size off a ping pong ball/golf ball. This is likely to becausing the cerebral cortex to
be applying pressure to all the nerve bundles to the front of the cortex on that side and is likely to be the reason for all her symptons.
The specialist said that it needs to be removed and the only good thing about it is that it is in/on a relatively non-critical part of the brain. The
admittance process has been started with a pre-admittance medical booked for the 19th Jan and surgery on urgent admission probably sometime in
February (date to sent/set asap).
Surgery time should be approx 2hrs with 7 days in hospital and 6 weeks off work.
So once again thanks to all for your support.
JGG.

I missed your last post jgg, a golf-ball sized lump, blimey! Good news that it's been diagnosed and they can operate. I hope all the surgery
goes well, must seem a lifetime to wait though....
All the best,
Vince

Like vinny I also missed your last post JGG.
I am so pleased that she has been seen quickly,
and that the proverbial ball is rolling.
A very worrying time for you and your loved ones,
but from what you recounted from the specialists
it all sounds very encouraging.
Thoughts and wishes are with you and yours

I too missed the last post!
In a perverse way, it sounds like good news. Operable and plans in place to operate!
I wish your wife and the rest of the family well!

Hey JGG,
For me finding out the mass was cancerous was a relief, it was, in my mind at least, treatable once diagnosed. It didn't make it any less scary
for me or my family, I have to say my wife delt with it brilliantly.
The hospital were amazing, the NHS gets a lot of flack but I couldn't fault them in the slightest.
I've got my fingers crossed for you both that everything turns out well.
Kind regards
John

Like many I missed your last post.
I wish you and your wife all my best and I hope everything goes smoothly and I’m sure we all will be thinking of you.
When things like this happen people sometimes tend not to talk about it much together, I would really get into it and work together through it. Just
having someone there helps, even though answers can take time.

I'll keep everything crossed for you and your's mate.
I know exactly what you are going through.
Just be glad that you insisted on a second opinion and that they found it in time.
May your God bless you both.

Was there a first post?
Can't fault the NHS when it's important, they're not going to mess about with waiting lists on something like this.
Good thing it's on a "good" part of the brain and hope she makes a full recovery
