Glad it's good news even if the down side is surgery! Lets hope time won't drag too much for you, it's horrible waiting. |

It's good that it's benign! Hope the op goes well :D
I'd say let us know which hospital which ward, but you'll end up with a deluge of things like gummy snakes etc!!! hehehehe |

Good for the op mate. Hurrah for it being benign though - despite having to have it taken out. |

I know this might be confusing news to you Jase, but I think you need to look at it on the positive side. Have been googling it and can only find info on Cavernomas....is that the same thing?
'A cavernous malformation or cavernoma is an abnormal cluster of dilated blood vessels which have a tendency to bleed'....I guess the cluster of abnormal vessels is the benign tumour - and I thank God that it is benign and can be treated, even if it has to be done surgically.
By the sounds of it you are actually lucky that it has been spotted as often they are missed and not diagnosed, so people are walking around with them not knowing why they are suffering so much with headaches etc, while all the time they could be bleeding into their brain - not reassuring to you I know, but yours was diagnosed and can be dealt with.
Sta~ple....I would assume that Jase is having it removed, despite it being benign, because it is causing small bleeds into his brain.
I know that your op must seem a long way ahead, but as Sammysnake said, if they felt it was more dangerous they would have you in sooner. The days and weeks and months will pass....especially with the summer and the kids to occupy you. But please remember to take time out for yourself and to prepare yourself for what is going to happen....because no matter how good this news is (in that it isnt brain cancer) it does mean that you will be having brain surgery....which is a big thing and something you need to get your head around. And talk it through with your OH, as I am sure she desperately needs to.
You know where we are....and take strength in the fact that many of us are praying for you, even if you dont believe - you have no idea the power of prayer.

i am so glad that the tumor is benign, and operable, unfortunatly you have to wait until sept until you can have the damn thing removed. i hope everything goes ok, and remember, we are all here for you and if you need to rant and nag or cry (even though we cannot see u) we are always here.  |

I agree with both Mike and Sammy :D
if you are anything like me, i like to get ops over and done with as quickly as possible, prevents me worrying over them needlessly, as i very regularly do hehe.
Good luck Jase, i hope it all goes as great as possible!

I cant imagine how scary it must be going through something like that,but on the positive side its benign and operable.

Agree with Mike, weirdly it's kinda good news. Great that it's benign, great that it's operable and if they're happy to wait until August/September then they can't be too concerned about it growing too fast or pressing on anything. That said, I'm not underestimating how scary this must be. I'm definitely joining the ranks of those praying for a fantastic outcome from the op (sending big hugs if you're the hugging type ). |

I am so glad the kids are back with their mum....although I am sure that you miss them, even if it was a handful. I do hope she is getting enough help and support to be able to get through everything she has suffered and care for the kids at the same time. They are blessed having you and your family there to lean on....but now is the time for you to concentrate on you.
I am not surprised you are *****ing yourself....I cant imagine being in your situation. All you can do is go in prepared to deal with whatever life is going to throw at you as in the end you have no choice - and you will cope with it, no matter the results, because you have to....when you have kids there is no 'get out' clause, no matter how much you wish there was.
Thanks for keeping us up to date Jase, it is good to know when you are seeing the consultant so that you can be in our thoughts and prayers. You also know you have the support of a lot of people on here who, although they may never have met you, do care about you and about what you are going through.
