I'm so sorry. Me and my big mouth.

I lost my Dad to lung cancer in April. I know it's not the same as going through it with your child, but cancer is just crap (excuse my language )

I hope you all find the strength to cope with it as best as you can. I'm sure you have and you'll continue to do so. And I hope your son is as comfortable as he can be. xx

Glitzkiss,

Thanks so much for circulating this, hadn't even thought of asking people to do this, much appreciation.... and yes, we are trying to enjoy every day, even though some days are really hard, it's worth every single minute. he may be 27 yrs, but he's still my little boy - love him soooo very much... xxx

I am so very sorry to hear the sad news about your son. My thoughts and prayers are with you to give you the strength to get through this desperately sad time x

My big sister was diagnosed with a brain tumour when she was 28. They said it was a childs tumour and would've been growing since she was tiny. It's terrifying to think it could go undetected for so so long. Her only symptoms had been dizzy spells when she was in her early twenties and her GP dismissed those by saying 'all young women get dizzy spells'. At 28 she had two fits which prompted a brain scan, followed by diagnosis, an operation to remove what they could and then radiotherapy. We were told it had 'gone'. She had yearly brain scans for around 8 years and then was told she didn't NEED to see the consultant again......however she could still see him yearly if she felt it would give her peace of mind. The yearly checkups continued, but never any mention of a brain scan.

When she was 43 she found she was unable to write properly and she would miss her mouth when she tried to drink. The brain scan revealed the tumour had returned with a vengeance. She couldn't be operated on again, so was given chemo for a few months before they realised it was too late. A few months later she was gone.

It's hard not to wonder what if?? ........

I sincerely hope this petition does some good.

Sending you love and hugs xx

Signed. Recently lost my sister to this dreadful cancer and I too was horrified to learn that the prognosis for brain tumours has not improved in over 40 years.

Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time x

That's awful. I'm so sorry about your sister. My daughter had a headache for 3 days that wasn't shifting. She was put straight into hospital for a brain scan. Turned out it was a migraine. It's unbelievable that there were no follow up scans for someone that has actually had a brain tumour!
