That sucks.  By virtue that they are operating, it must be well, 'operable' -that's good I guess.  What's the prognosis?

Hope it all works out OK.

Be well.

Hey Rod, 

Best wishes and good luck with your op.
If they're waiting till mid-December it must not be too horrible.

Stay strong,

Rod,
Very sorry to hear about the tumor.  I know it is really scary, but it sounds like the news is positive.   

I had throat/neck cancer 2 years ago and went through dissection surgery then 6 weeks of radiation and chemo.  They are very good these days with all kinds of cancer therapy.  Keep your spirits up, it makes all the difference in the world during treatment and recovery.

Good luck and hang in there!

Brain tumors suck.  A lot can happen in a month while you wait for surgery . Be careful what you do by yourself without supervision. you may become disorientated and lost and wind up at the bar in the next town.

A friend of mine went thru this recently and still is recovering from the effects.

this will be a great time to do the mindless chores on the fj  :rofl:

trying to cheer you up  :drinks: best wishes  :empathy3:
