Thank you both for your kind words, littleoldlady and * Menopaws*

All the best, I'm new but can relate to being strong for them, now think of yourself

NanSue,i had a benign tumour removed from the top of my spine last year 10 days after my DH funeral.It was all a terrible rush .Like you i was brave for the kids, but they were being brave for me too.Just tell them how much you love them and then let go and put yourself into the surgeons good hands. They know what their doing. Infact they are marvelous .Good luck to you .

The operation has been postponed.

NanSue, there are a lot of folks thinking about you today and wishing you a successful op and a speedy recovery. Please let us know how you are just as soon as you are well enough to begin posting on here again. The fear is natural. It would be unnatural not to be afraid. Fear makes you wary and alert to what is going on around you. When it is all over, your sense of relief and well being will be all the sweeter for your having been afraid.

God bless.

It's been postponed Rinouchka

Good luck tomorrow. Hope all our positive thoughts will help.

Nansue and Laurensnan hugs and to you both. Hope all goes well for you both.

NanSue, so sorry to hear your operation was postponed, but hopefully you'll have a new date very soon. Thinking of you. X

Sending a big hug and wishes for a speedy recovery your way.

Thinking of you today NanSue

Why wouldn't you be scared? Hope surgery went well and you are soon back home with out that worrying thing in your head!

NanSue, Is it a pituitary tumour? If so I was diagnosed 13 years ago. Operated on and made a full recovery. It's scary but no reason why you shouldn't make a full recovery also. Good luck

So hope you're better after the op. I've only just seen the thread. Please post sometime and let us know how you are. Thinking of you

Laurensnan I hope all goes well with your surgery,I'm sure it will and we'll both be absolutely fine. . To be honest I'm more worried how it's going to affect my mum if they postpone too many times.
How absolutely heartbreaking for your nephew and his family. My heart goes out to them.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people just read the OP and don't bother with any of the replies before they post!

Hope you don't have to wait too long for a new appointment, NanSue.

All the very best to you. Get well soon xxxxxx

I can feel for you so much as I am in a similar position. I am having major surgery on Friday and I am now a wreck. Convinced I won't see next week and worrying about everyone else if die. It's normal I suppose but we have to think of how many times these surgeons have done their operations and the things in place for any problems that come up . My grown up nephew had a brain tumour (incurable cancer) and he had his tumour removed every time it grew back ....5 times in total. He never had any complications and it was routine to the Dr's. Not sure what else to say other than roll on this time next week for us both!

Jalima. Thank you. I should have posted the fact that I have started another thread and of course it should have said OPERATION POSTPONED not OOPERATION CANCELLED

Just seen this ...so hopefully now it is all over and everything went well ! Wishing you a speedy recovery !

miep NanSue has started another thread to let us know that her operation has been postponed.

OPERATION CANCELLED

NanSue has started a new thread as her op was cancelled!
