re: A guy I know just had an emergency brain surgery- question

Dealt with shite like this before, do you know where in the brain? That's the big question

Edit: killed multiple people I know including best friends (21 years old) and close family members. The worst was the cancer that spread down to thr lungs for my 21 yr old friend. You think you are invincible at that age but a sickness like that really drops the world on you.

I still go to her and my uncles grave each year. They strangly ended up buried 10 yares from each other on a hill. Can't think if the name but the place right down the street from parkview baptist

Yes, it can be removed. He has an excellent chance of survival. My friend had brain cancer as a kid. That was probably 30 years ago and no more cancer. Has to test every year. He does have permanent damage. That's the overall good news.

Not near enough information to make claims like that. And brain cancers in the peds population and adult population are generally pretty different. If it's something like a meningioma, resection can be curative. If it's a glioblastoma, the outcomes are really bad unfortunately.

Basically: no way to know without the path report and imaging.

And best of luck to him and his family, that is awful and I couldn't imagine being in their situation. Heartbreaking.

It will be a great day when a cure is found for all types of cancer.

I was told I have a cyst in pituitary gland about 8 mm and a lot of foci in my white matter. Have no clue what all that means but being checked for multiple sclerosis. Didn't mean to hijack but I'm 33 with 4 kids and even though mine may not be serious it makes you feel pretty damn small in grand scheme of things. You never know what's going on in your body. Hopefully everything comes out good for him OP.

I'm going to give it a few days and call the dad back mid week. I'll report back when I know more and give an update. Thanks for all the feedback

If you know him well enough, take home out for a few beers. Sometimes the family members just need a few hours to let their minds slip.

Solid.

Holy shite prayers for that guy. Especially as a dad.

For some reason the last couple of months I have developed almost a phobia of dying and leaving my children to grow up without a father.

You're not alone. I'm 32 with 3 and sole provider. Have had my colon removed and just went through a serious scare again with my abdomen. There is a fear there I developed in the last few years. It sucks for sure

You're not getting the bonus this year, frickstick. Your pool is going the same place as your client's motor skills and memories of his childrens' birth, a-hole.
