I have been getting some headaches recently with some visual distortion , it could be just the muscle tension from the tumour in my neck and stress but we're going to have a look and see if my brain is clear .

Sounds like they are very proactive. Best to check I would have thought.

I have been in hospital since Monday evening , I will be out sometime tomorrow hopefully, the latest news is not great , if I continue with the chemotherapy I have maybe 6 months and if I opt out I have 4 months but with a better quality of life , I am not giving up but I have decided to go for quality over quantity. It wasn't an easy decision to make and I am very scared about either decision,

I can imagine. That's not a choice anyone wants to make.

Let us know when you're feeling up to it and we'll get you out for a cuppa and a slice of cake.

I believe you will have chosen the best choice for you, and that's all that matters. Hopefully you will make it out tomorrow as you say.

I will do my utmost to make it to this cake and coffee gathering!

I can only guess at how scary that must feel making that choice. I'm sure you've made the best choice for you.

If ever you need an ear to bend or someone to talk random shit with, you know where I am.

Would be good to meet for coffee and cake if your up to it.

I'm sure all of us on here were wishing for better news at this point.

Nonetheless, now looking forward to you proving them wrong by holding off any deterioration beyond their expectations.

No one can advise you on the decision, because imho the only person who knows what is best for you is,,, You.

My thoughts are with you mate, and my admiration at your stoicism immense.

That's fantastic, great work. If I could give you some of my weight there's a surplus 20kg floating around if you'd have it! Haha.

March 25th is saved in my calendar, I'll keep an eye for updates. Keep on trucking mate! You're doing so well :)

I'm sure I wasn't the only one who wanted to know, just didn't want to be hassling Jack for posts until he wanted. Thanks for taking the incentive for the rest of us Kwackers.
