Jeez, David, I am sorry to hear that. It's simply not fair when young people get illnesses like this. I hope she wins over it.

Been having a few dramas with my daughter, so not been feeling like posting much lately.

She's got something called Eosiphilic Granuloma (spelling may not be 100%) which is this sort of tumor thing eating away the back of her skull. They don't think it is malignant, but it is right up against her brain, so they are less than keen to go and poke around it too much by operating. Gives her incredible headaches so she's taking some super dooper pain killers.

Being 21, there is a reasonable chance her body can fight it OK, so at the moment we are in a holding pattern, waiting for MRI scans and CAT scans and biopsies and specialists and stuff, and feeding her a whole pile of vitamins etc.

Anyway, I'll get back to posting in a while. There'll be a LOT to catch up on!

Cheers
David

About 9 years ago I had one of those Granuloma ( not usually malignant) things about the size of a golf ball in my brain.
It had developed around my nerve for the hearing in my left ear etc and was in a touchy spot in the rear part of the brain close to the stem.
I had the head aches and a few other problems because of it.
If it is encapsulated she should do OK.

I ended up losing my hearing in my left ear and have bad permanet tinitus.
Life goes on

David that is really terrible mate. I really hope it all works out and she is OK.

I propose we stop this thread when it gets close to the magic number and contact Spud so he can (appropriately) make the special post.

Spud,
If there is anything at all we can do to help give us a yell. I truely hope all goes well and things abate very soon for your daughter.

That's terrible news. Hope all goes well. Looked it up on Wikipedia, seems like it is likely to be benign. Hope so. All the best...

Thats awefull mate. Hope all goes ok.
ALL THE BEST!
