MY FIRST NEURO SURGEON JUST THREW IT OUT, YOU HAVE THIS 12-18 AT THE OUTSIDE. FIRED HIS ASS ON THE SPOT. I had a surgery performed where threywere able to remove 85%of my mass, my vhemo is a tablet (I'm lucky no infusion. radiation stopped my headaches on day 1. i have two more weeks of this initial therapy. i know it is just a holding action, but i'll take each day as it comes, and be damn glad for it. my oncologist and chemo oncologist are while forthright, see how therapy is progressing, and are less dire in prognosis. we'll just have to wait and see.I know the ending, but there just may be a couple more plot twists!! :lol:

I just passed the age where I am not ready to go, but with all the kids up and on their feet, I cant complain about the ride I have gotten of my ECM throws a P0666 - you are done.

Love you positivity!
