Wishing you the very best of luck today Ross. As it happens, my uncle was scanned for the first time 3 weeks ago, had two ops in 10 days and is now resting at home on the sofa, recovering well. Hope it works out equally well for you.

Ross, good luck today, you're in my thoughts (well, when I'm not thinking about cars and girls).

I have just read this from the beginning. I don't know you mate but I am rooting for you and sending all the luck that I can. I want to read in a few weeks what a great time you had with the nurses in hospital.

All the best.

Hi Ross, we don't know each other but I've just seen this thread and read it from start to finish - you have been inspirational in your attitude to all that you're going through. My thoughts are with you today and I wish you all the very best.

Hi guys, I'm out now. Went ok and surprisingly quickly. Only about an hour. I have a copy of the mri scan and will upload an image later, I'll do a print screen and then circle the offending sod in red to make it clear. It's a big fker!

Scary stuff, but amazing technology and medical advancements will hopefully see you through this.
Good luck fella, must be a truly difficult time, but chin up and keep fighting.

Was this scan to decide what they are going to do or more of a check before surgery?

Would attempting to reduce the size using radiotherapy first be an option or is that not going to work given that the grey matter around it will also get a dose?
