Seem a little bit more dizzy and still have the headache when I cough or sit for two long so I'll mention that when I go back to the hospital in a minute.

You've had a very serious operation Ross and these symptoms could recur for a long time.


I'm sure your family had a wonderful Christmas with you present, after all you might so easily not have made it. Merry Christmas fella.

Happy Christmas Ross

You will be pleased to know, many have over indulged.
And are now trying to do the Ross walk.
So everytime i see someone slightly unsteady on their feet i will be thinking of you.
Even from the posts in here, i can only see the positivity coming from you.

You deserve everything you can possibly wish for.

Thanks chaps. My mum, brother and friend brought me back to hospital and stayed until 6, my dad and his wife came at 6 and have just left. I'm tired now so off for some shut eye.

They're letting me go home tomorrow too,and probably over the weekend too.

Ross, I might have missed it if you said already, but what did the path lab make of the tumour? Have they pronounced on its grade and ability to invade/malignancy? Will they be carrying out any post-op treatment: radiotherapy, chemo, etc?

I have said it before and I will say it again.."you are a legend". It is your attitude to this which makes everybody amazed. When your feeling better let's hope us guys and girls on here can give you a special day somewhere. Perhaps there is a charity connected with what your going through can need some help. Keep fighting.

Hi,

It was a grade 2 ependymoma, approximately 20% chance of recurring.

Slept a bit better last night. Purely shut eye from 7-9pm, think I got to sleep around 10pm, woke up about 4am, back to sleep around 5ish and up at 6:30 and here I am now. Quite tired still but may just get shut eye until 8 then get up. They're letting me out on day release again so being picked up at 10am. I didn't shower yesterday so feel a bit icky now. Thing is that things the so long these days. Getting up and out of bed isn't 2 second job at the moment hehe

I was feeling a bit rough last night after a seemingly worse day but before my dad left we went for a walk which seemed ok which perked mind up a bit.

Today I'm going back home and the plan is to relax, i think we're going to try and play a board game like ludo... See how I feel... And get some rest too.

If you're feeling a tad rough it means the old body is working for a living, all good in the end.

Ludo, ruddy Ludo? Can't stand it. Much prefer Naked Twister, though that doesn't work so well with family members. biggrin

Hope you have a great day.

I don't think twister would work too well with me with me either right now rofl

I love monopoly but I think it'd be a bit much on the old brain right about now! I'm tempted to get up now, have a shower, pack my stuff up and then try and get more shut eye before I get picked up....

I'm glad to see things are going in the right direction. Every day will be a little bit better than the last so keep at it. I don't know you from Adam but I think of you quite often, it's funny how a stranger's life can sometimes touch your own and put one's own problems in perspective. (I hope that doesn't sound too weird!). All the best for the coming year.

Thanks Ross, that's interesting. My in-house medic tells me that is a benign type but, as you say, can recur. Benign is one of Woody Allen's favorite (sic) words, so I think that's good news!

You're doing properly well, Ross.

Be proud and just keep doing what you're doing. You're young, fit and have the cojones to get this pinned quickly.

Also, that scar is properly boss thumbup
