Just noticed this topic, but I've been doing this as well, got a few contestants in the office taking part as well
If cash would be OK, PM me a snail mail addy that you're happy for me to send it up to.
Recently had a tumour removed from lining of skull that was pressing on my brain. Not a cancer as such but still an unwelcome visitor! Op was op was 2 weeks ago so still recovering but doing well.
Nod, was that a meningioma? (sp!)...I was getting headaches and blurred vision on left eye a month back, they scanned me and said I have a small tumour, but it's totally the wrong place to be the cause of the symptoms I was having!?
Could have had it since birth (cant tell), and it might have given me no grief ever, they are often asymptomatic they tell me.
They are going to monitor me every 6 months, but yeah, an unwelcome visitor indeed
My sight is normal again and no headaches and they reckon a virus caused it (had a spinal tap the other day as the last check for anything more sinister)
apart from that, i'm doing great
Doc told me to 'forget about it' as it's small and benign but will possibly grow
Scary, but i'm taking that as good news. Gave me a wake up though. I admit, i never think about my health at all really as i am only 36 and 'invincible'
Good health to you anyway, Nod
(sorry for off topic a bit)
The related topic was that my missus originally said i was doing too much photography :nono:and it was causing my eye/headaches....imagine my delight when I got to say 'no dear, it's a brain tumour, now get my camera'
Some great pics here, keep up the good work everyone
