Hi Folks just thought I would give you all a quick update (won't keep you too long from other important FHM2 business)

I had my surgery on Friday the 3rd and the procedure went very well. I spent a couple of days in intensive care and came home on Wednesday the 8th. I then had a scan on Friday the 10th and it appears that all of the tumor has been removed from the area around the left side of my temple. So fingers crossed no more surgery or treatment is required.

The first few days I was very very tired and I couldn't sit up without feeling sick, dizzy or sore. My jaw is very stiff as they had to move some muscles around my jaw apparently so my speech isn't great but I have been told chewing gum will help that and it should improve over the next few weeks. I have a slight tremor on my right hand but again I have been told that should wear off. It has taken me about 40 minutes and two log ins to type this message so I will leave commenting on the FaceGens for another day

At the moment I look like the love child of Kojak and Darth Vader without his helmet at the end of Return of the Jedi but I was never exactly gorgeous to start with. Not sure if that will improve over time

Glad to be alive and on the road to recovery (I hope). Take care all and thanks for your support

Matt
