Hi Scott, so sorry to hear your news.

The husband of a woman at work found out he had one the size of a cricket ball! They did an operation last year and he's come out ok. If you like I can get the info on the doctor's cause apparently he's one of the best around (confirmed by another co-worker who's father also had brain surgery).

If you were looking forward to it working on your car and the doctors didn't think it will affect your health then I say do it. Keep yourself in good spirits and doing the things that you enjoy and want to do.

Sorry to hear this Scott!

Is the growth a Glioma(eg astrocytoma) or is it benign?

If you don't know, they will do a biopsy to find out what type it is. It may be just a benign growth. I hope so - I pray so.

Sweeteners 951 and 950 in chewing gum and diet drinks can cause/accelerate gliomas. Stay away from them aka aspartame and acesulphame.

PM me if you want. Tez

It's a glioma don't know it's nature yet though its large and slow growing, nothing showed up in blood tests so hopefully it's benign. Doctor thinks surgeon will just take it out rather than biopsy but Monday will tell I'm going to professor mark sherridon at Liverpool and if he can't help Charlie teo just have to wait and see I guess, thanks for your thoughts.

Scott

One of my best mates had a large brain tumour removed (it looked like a clump of cauliflower!).

His was about the same size and it was located around the nerves that control the hearing for his left ear. He had his tumour sucessfully removed (about 10 years ago now) and is fine now. When I say fine but not perfect he lost all hearing in his left ear and was a bit vague for 12 months but certainly better than being dead.

Modern medical science is pretty amazing nowadays mate so you'll be right!

Things like this make you realise and then appreciate the more important things in life- family, friends and fun.

Yup, if safe medically to do so, retain your current lifestyle / your hobbys. Is the best you can do to keep yourself mentally stimulated and positive.

I wish you all the best through this challenge, and if the is anything myself or the club could do for you, just ask. I'm sure people can make it happen. :)

How are you feeling today Scott?

Some days when you wake up, it'll feel like, "Surely this is just a bad dream - right?"

As days tick by, even the emotions change.

Numbness > Disbelief > Anger > Despondency > Rationalising > Mustering faith to fight etc.

Even taste in the music one listens to, changes.

Anyway, a journey it is. And I hope your journey doesn't have many rotten bumps or quicksand!

Cheers for now!

    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
