but sometimes I feel that having a brain tumour is almost a fashion accessory as since Jus has had regrowth so many of my family and friends are telling me about someone they know or are related to who has/had a brain tumour. (I have a very warped sense of humour and god knows it certainly helps in nursing!)
I sort of understand what you are saying. We watched a movie the other day on paytv, I think it was Chuck and Me? Or something stupid like that. Anyway, they were talking about their lives saying how things weren't too bad, at least there lives weren't like so and sos who had just been diagnosed with an inoperable malignant brain tumour and given a week to live. It was not a funny line in the movie for us in the least, and we had to stop watching it after that.
Although it has been a good way to get rid of pesky telemarketers. I have had one chasing me for a little bit, wanting to give me financial advice. I haven't had the hear to say F off up until now. He kept badgering me, in the end I said, look, my husband is sick. He has an inoperable malignant brain tumour which is terminal, we don't want to take your financial advice right now. He didn't know what to say, stumbling and stammering. But he got off the phone from me pretty quickly! His last words "hope he gets better soon!!"
I'll be thinking of your family for this upcoming scans. Our next one is on 27th of Feb. Fingers, toes and everything in between crossed.
