So dad update
The tumor grew back near the same site, because he was so well in himself the offered another craniotomy which he snapped up.
He has this is Aug this year now he’s 19months post finding the diagnosis. Two craniotomy’s radiotherapy and now in his second round of chemotherapy,
Because the tumour had started to grow before the last round of chemotherapy ended they stated it didn’t work. The chemo he is on now only had a 5% chance of working, but he is a fighter and he will do anything.
Mid round he is feeling tired and lack of energy is seen, then he picks back up and does ok for a few weeks then another dose every 6 weeks ..
he’s for a scan in a few weeks and I am scared..
I’m scared that one day they will say sorry there’s isn’t anything else we can do..
Dad however is an absolute legend he is getting on with it and his life, you wouldn’t know he’s Brent bough all of this.
We did loose a bit of dad after the last operation, lost a little bit of his sparkle, and he isn’t as fit as he was and that’s noticeable.
But his fighting spirit remains and his humor and we are all so thankful he is still here..
So we watch and wait and see what happens next.
Xxxx

@lisamorris4272 its awesome that he is a fighter, just like me and yes its hard to watch him go through the hard days. sending a prayer your direction as i type............OK prayer sent. i believe in prayer groups i have many that monitor my progress daily and i try to keep them posted. i carry my phone and cane with me daily, yesterday was a hard day, had to call and have someone come get me i could not manage the rest of my walk. came home where i am staying with my daughter and family. got in a good rest cycle and going to try to just have this as a rest day. tomorrow back to my workouts. get into some prayer groups, it has a way of changing things for the better if nothing else comfort. i am 69 this week and recovering from lung and brain cancer.so far but God i have been healed from the cancer , got a long road to go but be positive for your dad, he can see the expressions on your faces so mask them a hair, growl if you like and say i am here to help you fight , we can make a difference, say it with love and commitment. and get more prayer groups going , all faiths. Have a blessed day. now i have to try to figure my collapse from yesterday and carry on with support of family, friends, angels, and god. Amen
