Grade 2 Glioma of the Brain Stem

Right, I'd better explain more about what's going on. Since June this year I was feeling tired and just generally worn out. 3 trips to the doctors and a couple of blood tests later they still weren't sure what the problem was. Finally I got double vision whislt driving back to Geneva from Annecy so I went back to the Royal Free and saw a super doctor called Gerard Davies. He booked me in for a brain scan and sure enough they found some problems. A week later I had a brain biopsy. I had to wait another week for the results which I did and it turns out I have a tumor in my brain stem. It's a Grade 2 Glioma. More on that later, gotta dash for this planning meeting.....bye!

love

Ali

Hi Ali

Went to Kutis for a curry with the family last night and Mike told me what's been happening with you. I'm gutted for you mate but knowing the fighter that you are I'm sure you can beat this. Ali, you know we think the world of you and, along with the rest of the Osman clan, I'll be rooting for you and sending up a prayer or two. Don't forget, we've still got to write that England song even though the berks messed up qualification for Euro 2008!
The slopes of Courcheval need the Rainback and from a purely selfish angle me and Mike need you to coax us down another black.
You take it easy Ali, I'll write again now I've got the address of your blog.
Up the Gooners - what a season they're having by the way.
Cheers Ali
