Lots of love coming your way.
My 1st inclination was to congratulate you on actually finding out what was wrong, but the fact it was a brain tumor kind of takes the joy out of it. Doesn't it?
Hopefully it is a very simple procedure.
Good luck, and let know what your prognosis is.

My best wishes that the tumour will be successfully removed and that you will have a fast recovery.

Ike - I don't know where to start hon.
I'm away from sunday night until the 25th but once I'm back any help or support I can give you and Tami is there okay? If you need help with anything or if the two of you just want a break you're more than welcome to come and stay.
By the sounds of it they've caught it early so thats good. What with early diagnosis and the strength of this place you've got the best team going mate.
If you want to talk before sunday pm me your number and I'll give you a shout.
Lots and lots and lots of love
Helen xxx

I am truly, deeply sorry to hear about your tumour.
It can be hard to see a bright side to such news, but there is one: You have all of our best wishes, prayers and strongest vibes. You are with people who genuinely care and who genuinely want to make sure you beat that little lump of good for nothing sheit!
My friend beat (5 years' remission now) a very serious case of Lukemia through, he believes, visualising a little Pacman steadily gobbling up the extra white cells; try to imagine your own little pacman steadily munching his way through your tumour... believe it, and do it. ALL the time.
Kind regards
Paul

Holy crap! When we all search for a diagnosis, nobody wants to hear this kind of result. I'm so sorry, and I, too, hope it's an easy procedure.
I'm sending every vibe I've got to you, not to mention a few prayers.

Ike much as I'm always slating Lee its only in fun, he's one of my very best friends in the whole world and I would trust him with my life. If you get the chance to meet him - DO! (Just not on whatever day me and you meet up 'k?! )
He has forgotten more about CH and brain pathology than I will ever know and if anyone can shed a little light on this for you he can. Much as it hurts me to admit it I really cannot praise this bloke enough and you can't go wrong listening to him.
lots of love
Helen

So sorry to hear of this news and sending all prayers and vibes that I have to you.
I am amazed they broke the news to you by mailing the result directly to you! In Australia, such diagnosis has to be given in person by a doctor, preferably your GP so that not to shock the patient and so that any question can be answered satisfactorily.
I hope it makes you feel a little bit better to know that the pituitary is the most accessible gland of the head. It makes surgery a lot easier than other parts of the brain. Pituitary gland tumours often respond to hormone treatments very well. There are many ways they can shrink it either by meds or by radiation. Surgery may not be necessary.
http://www.pituitary.org/faq/
I am very glad you have Prof Goadsby. You are in good hands and I wish you all the very best for a successful, quick and easy treatment and complete recovery.
Annette

I'm hopeful that your appointment with Dr. Goadsby yields some good options for you--a better, more competent physician would be difficult to imagine, from all I've heard.
Best wishes always,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs

And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

I am so sorry for the news...
If you need to talk about it, I'm here. My father and my uncle both had brain tumors, so I know a bit about living with it. And I know that it makes a huge difference in what type of tumor you have and where it is located. This is the moment to fight!
I must admit that it is a surprise to me as well that you got the news via mail; my dad was told it personally by his doctor. These things do vary.
Hugs & prayers,
Sanna
