Dear Mark I am sorry that your dad has got mm It is still quite an unusual cancer, but our GP said that although she was used to seeing it (huge doctor's practice) she was seeing younger and younger people with mm and your dad is still quite young.

There is a great deal of research going into mm at the moment so let's all hope that it will help some of the people on here and help all of the people that get mm in the future. Best of luck Gill

Hi Gill, Yes, maybe, but the thing I was trying to impress upon Mark is that it is not quite the end of the road for his dad 🙂 , a picture is worth a thousand words.

I expect most of us can show impressive bits of hardware 😉 . The really incredible thing is that neither I nor my friends can get over that my next works perfectly, just like a normal neck. People just do not appreciate sometimes how clever some of our Doctors are.

I went out to my ?Red tractor (my workshop) ? yesterday and started making some cages, the start of a Zoo I think, for my Granddaughters? increasing number of toy animals.

Kindest regards

David

Hi All

Now a couple of weeks on since I last posted and my dad has gone downhill rapidly. He is now nil by mouth and had to have an endoscopy.

Apparently the tumour is on his skull and we are awaiting to hear if it has gone to his brain.

He also has a chest infection which is getting worse and he is at high risk of pneumonia.

Thought i would update you guys but not looking good at the moment.

Hi Mark hang in there and hopefully they will pump lots of anti-biotics into your dad to get rid of his chest infection. I really hope you get some good news soon As Min said try and stay positive and dont forget we are all here for you Bridget
