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...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
