I'm scared! There, I've said it.

You may have had, or be having the operation as I type this, but my very best wishes to you for a speedy recovery and hope to hear from you soon

All the best

This must be such a challenging time for you and I want to send you my very best wishes for a quick recovery. Hopefully the hardest part will now be behind you. Take good care of yourself and plenty of rest so you can hurry home. Thinking of you. x

I've only just seen this thread. Best of luck NanSue. You are probably back on the ward having your cup of tea. Loads more for you.

Hi Sue, I haven't read all the replies but just wanted to tell you that my friend had the same surgery at the beginning of last year. The op took 9 hours and within an hour, she was sitting up talking and eating a yogurt. I was amazed by that. She has been absolutely fine, she was back at work (she's a busy childminder) within a few weeks and has had no problems at all.

Sorry to be late didn't see this yesterday. I hope everything goes well for you. My son had a massive brain tumour removed 14 years ago so I can understand your fears as well as those of everyone else. Best Wishes

Good wishes to you NanSue looking forward to you getting back to us xx

Best wishes for today's operation. I'm sure it will go well.

I hope it all goes well. As others have said, I think you are being very brave. I would be in shreds by now. It's only natural to have fears at this time, take any help and support that's available.

Nansue - I salute you. To be scared stiff and yet summon the strength to overcome or subdue your fears so as not to worry others takes a special kind of bravery.

Nansue thinking of you and wishing you the best. Perhaps by now it will all be over and you will be back in the ward. Do let us know how things are as soon as possible.

Of course you're scared. I hope it goes well and that everyone makes a big fuss of you afterwards

Nan Sue

I too am wishing you well today.

Hope everything is going well and that you have a speedy recovery . Things always seem at their worst late at night

Just checking in Nansue to say I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Wish I'd seen this last night - it is scary, so I hope you've felt comforted by what everyone has said.

Do let us know how it goes

I've come late to this thread, but sending all my best wishes to you NanSue that everything goes well and you're soon home and recovering. Hopefully you're in theatre now and not having to spend too long in a hospital bed waiting to go.

Wishing you a safe and speedy recovery x

One of the mums in my son's rugby team had this op. She seemed to recover incredibly quickly and 15+ years later is still going strong. Good Luck, anticipation is probably the worst of it

Thinking of you NanSue and hoping all is going well

for when you come round

All the very best NanSue. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I know how you feel as I'm facing 6 month's chemotherapy so know what it's like to be scared.

Hope nerves have settled Nansue ?

A bit scared? I'd be terrified. That positive thinking will help your speedy recovery.

for you and a virtual hug for being so brave.

Nansue, my thoughts are with you. You will be fine, a friend of mine had a benign brain tumour remove a couple of months ago. he is back to normal now (not that he was ever normal ). I also have a benign brain tumour, but luckily, it is not growing very fast, so may never have to be removed.

I've only just seen this thread. Hope today goes well for you NanSue and that you'll soon be back here telling us that you don't know what you were worried about!
