I came to check up on you
and I'm glad I did. I might have missed it but did you mention in the colon board that you were having this op on the 10th. I don't know Kerry you look after us all in there. Anyway to all who read this on here, Kerry is a lovely guy and I hope you can advise him.

Not an expert but
I have read a couple of stories about people having brain-stem tumors on brain cancer survivors' stories sites and they have been treated with radiation, I even emailed someone there who had an who said that she had inoperable brain stem tumor when she was just 11 years old and now she's 30+ years old0 -

brain surgery
hey Kerry i am not an expert on all the medical terms but i had lung cancer after radiation and chemo about 8 mos later i had a terrible head ache went to hosp they told me i had 2 lesions on my brain.That was a wednesday they did conventional surgery on Friday they said i would be in icu for a couple days and brought out of anesthesia very slowly then put in regular room for a few days.They cut a 7" gash in the back of my head and removed lesion and I went home Sunday morning to their surprise. I was very lucky but sometimes its not as bad as they say.I went back a week later for gamma knife surgery which also went well. I hope you see this in time and i wish you the best of luck.0
