Brain Tumour Research.

With Martin’s kind permission (long standing member of the Disco3 forum).

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Last September my wife had a seizure and was diagnosed with a massive brain tumour. A week later she underwent a 22hr op to remove a 6.5cm tumour which was thankfully benign. Five weeks later she had a massive infection so it was another long op which resulted in her having her forehead removed. This was finally replaced with a titanium plate in February. Since then she has made a remarkable recovery to live a normal life in our new (to us) home.

The irony is that all this happened five days into her early retirement.

She would love to give something back for the professional and dedicated care that she received and has just started to fundraise for "The Neurosurgery Research Fund" at Southmead Hospital, Bristol to help further research into brain tumours. She is already planning afternoon teas etc.

We do appreciate that members must be bombarded with charity requests.

Even a few pounds would be gratefully received.

Thank you for reading.

That's a very worthy cause. We gave a donation from my late Mum's estate. She sadly died from a malignant brain tumour in 2014 but it wasn't for the want of effort on the part of Southmead, Frenchay and Weston-super-Mare hospitals. Very dedicated and focused people with a human side that I've not seen in healthcare before.

Glad your Mrs is on the mend Thumbs Up

Every day I feel better than the day before and this is made possible by knowing that there are many incredibly generous people out there who I don’t even know Bow down

I am amazed and humbled that I have already reached my target but hope that funds continue to be donated to enable further research into brain tumours.

Thank you all Thumbs Up
