I'm off to London tomorrow for another MRI of my brain- it's a fancy brain mapping type thingamajig- don't ask me what it does but all I know is its wonderfully clever.
This will show up the parts of the brain I use for various activities such as speech, cognitive,movement etc and this will help my super clever neurosurgeon avoid these bits during my op.
I will confirm more tomorrow about my op as I'm pretty tired now. I should be asleep but wanted to update you all!
I met up with some very inspirational people today from a local brain tumour support group ran by the lovely Louise (hi guys if you're reading this!) we had a lovely lunch whilst we chatted about our conditions, how we feel, how we cope and with (and most importantly might I add) shed loads of LAUGHTER! Because it is the best medicine as we know!!
I know I have only just discovered this group but I would like to say a massive thank you to Louise who has been such a great support to me, has chatted with me for hours and presented me today with a great 'Hello Kitty' folder of gems to use throughout my journey. Xx
I'm back with Mum now and to say "I don't travel light" is an understatement! I didn't know what to pack so I brought the lot!
Until tomorrow,
Gem xx
