Thanks Jules and SDP. Inoperable brain tumor and now onto spinal column. He is 31. First started 10 years ago. So far has had a stroke at 21, aneurysm at 22, four operations to remove the tumor (all successful for a year or two) chemo and radiation etc. Also ended up with epilepsy and some fits and seizures thrown into the mix. Start of this year testicular cancer was found and a nut removed. Finally been given the news that it's now just a matter of time. Every day he wakes is a bonus. Bucket list can't include alcohol, most drugs or sex, blood pressure medication means loss of downstairs function. Top bloke, sh*t happens, gutted.
