Post op

Well, I'm still here!!! My op went ok, but, not all tumour was removed. I had left side paralysis but has slowly been coming back, I can now walk and have more movement in my left arm...which will eventually come back as i'm told by my consultant. I got home yesterday after a 13 days stay in frenchay hospital. I will shortly be putting up pics...but, beware as a bit grusesome........I'm due to start Rt and maybe chemo for 6 weeks every day very soon.
