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!

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
