Well it's not benign or malignant somewhere I'm between due to the attacking of the skull but treatment is same as if it were benign. Just watch and see if it grows back he won't operate again till its 2.5cm which would be a few years if at all.

Hopefully youi'll die in 70yrs time of something else, whilst this thing continues to regrow.

By then, just opt to be buried won't you? It stops growing in a coffin.

Whereas, cremation smoke just spreads it around. :whistling:

Yes good point don't want that smoke sharing it around my gut says it will come back but prob 10 years or more but mark Sheridan is the best really I can't tell you how good he is, out of my op he only made 2k out if the total 25 k bill to insurer if I had gone to Charlie teo I'm told I would have had to pay another 30k out of pocket expenses I feel like dr Sheridan does it for right reason to help ppl and the anesthesia guy Henry too brilliant and they have been together since they left UNi and again no gap he is amazing I didn't even feel the needle.

I'm ok just very tired but doing a few hours work on the engine when I can, so far installed metal intake gaskets, did throttle body mod, polished plenum. I also ported exhaust manifold and turned engine over today to inspect bearings. I found them to be blueish in colour so I posted in forced induction forum and got an English lesson by some tool. I a bit annoyed about it to be honest , I am a paid member if sau I contribute daily in non gen y English and these people respond like that? I guess it's enough if my rant I'm off to bed to try to rest. Surgeon is happy with progress though going for follow up MRI tomorrow to look at what the tumor or lack of is up to and the most annoying part is cerebral fluid swelling when I do too much.

Cancer specialist called tonight apparently my tumor is quite rare as although its a grade 2 menigioma it also has rahboyd cells which are very fast growing, she said just wait for MRI in 6 months but if I have any issues to call her, to be honest her tone wasn't great but I have to trust her so time will tell, fingers crossed again I guess.

Hi Scott,

Q1 Have you looked up these terms on the net?

Q2 If it's possible to be proactive and do things to secure a remission, are you up to it?

Q3 If so, in the meantime, I'm wondering if any help can be gained (as you look these up), from Melatonin (5mg lozenges) and Laetrile (aka Vit B17 in apricot kernels)?

I have looked it up and it explains her tone, yes there are drugs etc that can be used but my gut says to trust the specialists as they have been brilliant. I will do some more research but really the only thing that will stop it is radiation if it were to come back but they don't "think" it will, and my age is the main reason they don't want to radiate. I can't really explain my feelings but I havnt really worried so far and it's harder for my family emotionally than be and I was at peace enough that if I was to die then its gods will and to that end I kind if think if this thing grows back quickly I'm screwed if it takes the ten years or so that I feel it will ( if it does) then I just need to go through this again but at least will survive. I still feel ultimately lucky in my life I have much to be thankful for and there are many that have it much much worse even on this forum .

I would give you a hand buddy but it's a fair drive for me. :)

Perhaps you could drop the transfer case off to make it lighter? Then slide a trolley jack under it? You only need the top bolts in to hold it in position, then you could take your time...

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
