Struck 'gold'!

Hi guys! Sorry I'm delivering this message a bit late.

After all the anxiety Friday actually went really smoothly. The surgeon was pleased to have removed 'over 95% of the tumour'. The only procedural concerns were linked to late meal deliveries after the surgery.

I'm back home. I had to skip the Royal Parks half marathon this morning but have no dramas to report, especially regarding walking or climbing stairs (one of the critical clinic discharge criteria). I'll have to take it easy for a bit; but as I was telling Ingrid earlier, I feel like I'm already weeks ahead of recovery versus my big surgery last year--not that I intend to make this a periodic thing!

'Gold'? you ask. The neurosurgeon informed us a afterwards that I was the first person to undergo this type of Visualase 'fry-the-tumour' surgery in the UK.

Kudos, Professor Ashkan! Thank you all for the positive vibes. And 'thank god if god exists' (as one of you exclaimed and made me chuckle).
