what and when

My brain is a cauli -- now infested with a fungus, GBM4.

Unfortunately the fungus is also spread through the cauli stalk. Okay, into the brain stem.

Once the fungus does too much damage to the stem, the stem will stop working and I will die.

The cauli is far too complicated to let anyone scape out the fungus... not without risking even more damage.

So we pour on a fungicide -- beelzebub, a new chemo. And hope for the best. And the best is that the fungus will be slowed down... and that is a very hopeful hope.

How much slower will the fungus grow? No-one knows. This is all too new, Scientists know that it works but each brain , each tumour, is different.

With my slow brain... I've already outlived GBM4 expectations by several years... all that I can do is wait and see.

Which very much suits my style :-)

We hope for weeks, at least, of nothing bad happening.

I plan for a few months and hope for a couple of years (There are still some important things that I need to finish. Or, at least, to start.

I'll let you know when I'm finally dead :-)

Or, well... watch this space.
