Went to the doctor yesterday to get my routine blood result back, to be told I have a Brain Tumour! apparently a Prolactinoma.
So I am awaiting an emergency referal to the endocrinologist to start sorting treatment.
Luckily it is not malignant, so i should live to see the end of it.
So please excuse me if i'm not only line much at the moment.

As you can imagine my head is in a bit of a mess.

Bloody Hell!

Not the sort of news you want. Take care of yourself, and please accept mine and Mrs Fuzzyduck's best wishes.

Everything will work Out fine I'm sure, look after yourself, us reprobates will be fine.

I think we should all get regular health checks !
You just never know ?
Best wishes to you.
The positive thing is they found it before it caused you any problems .

Sorry to hear about your problem. Makes you wonder whether, sometimes, doctors have to be quite so honest. Very often the worry can be worse than the ailment!!
Fingers crossed for next thursday!!
