Hi Jasper. The suspense after your last post was warranted. What a tale. So, it would have been good to have a little warning: hey, your brain might swell after radiotherapy, leaving you shaking and speechless. Just a wee heads-up. But no, you had to go through that terror unprepared. Once again, though, your relentless will, positivity, and curiosity gets you through with flying colours. Yes, the brain is amazing: where is your leg? No leg, and no tumour either. YOU are amazing. XXX and a big shout-out for the indomitable Veronika. Quite a gal. PS: I was talking to my cousin yesterday. He’s a 70 year old man who recovered from stage 4 throat cancer 15 years ago. He said those who make it have two things: iron determination and a loving support group. Thank god you have both.
That's how I'm trying to approach this. I'm rolling with the punches, but adapting as best I can. Determination and stubbornness to not go down keep me going, and enjoying the little things. Prognosis is just stats, but outliers exist too.
