Family comes first buddy.

Hope you get good news from MRI, I am sure I speak for everyone by saying we all feel your pain and as group1rs says we all here if you need us.

One big brisky family.

I have been there myself and I had all sorts of strange thoughts when my wife was diagnosed with cancer two years ago. She spend nearly seven hours in surgery and had long follow up treatment too. Forget about doing anything with the car now as you will need it for more journeys than you realise. In my wife's case the extensive surgery (if in doubt, cut it out!) was successful and she is now clear. Even walked coast to coast on Hadrian's Wall last summer.

Keep the car and look after your wife. Hope everything goes well and remember the success rate gets higher every day.

Mike

Fingers crossed for you

As others have said, don't do anything in haste.

If you do need to free up cash, low mileage vrs's are selling for decent money though

There are groups/organisations out there that can offer alot of 1st hand advice and support

Hoping all goes well

Hey mate, hope everything turns out okay. Thinking of you and your family.

you need anything lloyd,just let me know and i'll do what i can mate!!!

Seriously thanks again guys, your comments and support is greats

It seems very earlyn, and small after a call from one of the care nurse people

So that must be good news for ease of treating

It really is so unreal

Thanks again for all the great words

Lloyd,

Only just read this thread, it must feel so unreal for you all, I am so sorry truly.

Remember she is having the best possible care and will need your strength to help her on the road to recovery.

As has been said by all your friends, spend a few moments to gather your thoughts, dont rush into any rash decisions regarding your car.

I wish you, your wife and family Best Wishes

To a Speedy Recovery

Peter

Thanks again guys

I think the fact its very small has gave us alot of positivity

As she said it would be unlikely that at the size would spread

So surely, smaller must be earlier

Smaller must be also surely easier to treat and control

A small nasty must be better than a big nasty right

All fingers crossed

Hopefully the next scan will confirm this

Then it will be taken away

Then they will sort the next stage of treatmen

But its some ray of good news thats helped us

Thanks again guys for such kind words

Been offline for a bit, and didn't know of this. The medical services in this country in my opinion are extremely good! Have some faith in them, it's amazing what they can do nowadays - not belittling your circumstance just trying to reassure.

As said its a car! I have given mine up for a family situation recently, a positive one granted, but I miss the Feck out out of it!

Feeling for you buddy, wish we all had the ability to take this away for you.

Chins up carl

Thanks again

After the news yesterday of the size and unlikelyhood to of spread

Its sort of the best situation of a bad one i beleve

( if that makes sence )

Just all fingers crossed,

Just battling lots of scary thoughts, but with that news, something has settled abit

Get it out

And then access treatment

Then on to a recovery

With eyes and view alot more open

And prioritys in check

1day and for future victims..... I hope there is a easy cure for this

And as time goes on im sure 1day they may even be a problem solver for this nastyness

Thoughts are with you fella, just remember we're all just a click away and only to happy to assist if we can.

Lloyd, just seen this.

Terrible news, and I have a fair idea of how you feel as mum got breast cancer about 14 years ago. It was caught early and dealt with in a short time. All clear for the last 4 years or so now.

With your news of the MRI though, I honestly believe that your family will have the same experience as mine and everything will turn out fine.

I don't post a lot on here but have read many of your threads about the vRS, and I reckon if your wife can deal with your bonkers OCD about the car, then she can damn well kick the **** out of this little bitch!

Regarding the car, unless you need the capital I wouldn't get rid just yet. As others have said, you may regret it WHEN she beats it. Maybe you could SORN and cancel the insurance, stopping the monthly outgoings?

All the best and my thoughts are with you and yours

Thank you mate, very appreciated, there is so much positivity its very reassuring,

And things and treatments are getting better all the time

And thanks again " really from deep in me "

The comments and words and help have and are being amazing

Thank you all

Really feel for you and yours.

Positivity is amazingly powerful at times like these so keep your chin up and it will really rub off on the people around you who need it.

I've had experience of something similar in the family about 15 years ago that wasn't caught early and thanks to the amazing people in the hospitals it's behind us now. That's 15 years ago too, they've come a hell of a way since.

As I said, I know it's not easy but keeping spirits up will really help out so try your best!

Michael

Can't really add to what has already been said but hope it all goes well and the signs are looking positive at the moment, so long may that continue.

Dont really know you fella but my thoughts are with you and your family! Chin up chest out and be strong for them aswell as yourself! Hope everything goes as well as it possibly can!

Unfortunately I've been there Lloyd if you need a chat you know where I am,

Thanks guys

Sorry to hear trev :(

Heard so many positive stories

And with how early and small it is

Its got to be a help and good start

Thanks again to all

Everything will always be crossed

Mate having had to deal with something similar I can say I feel for you in the biggest way possible!

I personally found it imensly helpful to have something to loose my thoughts in, you need time to keep your head straight so your of use to people close to you, I mulled things over in my head while tinkering with my car and my bike and it helped me get things into perspective,

As said if you need the funds then crack on but otherwise take a step back and breath!

In the words of Florence and the machine

"it's always darkest before the dawn"

All the best mate, thinking of you

There is so much positivity its very reassuring,

At least you now know the light at the end of the tunnel isn't another train coming at you :relieved grin:

And thanks again " really from deep in me "

To (mis) quote someone allegedly famous "I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, and the heart of my bottom" ...

Thanks again guys

i hope it all gets sorted for you all mate , i must say im rather speechless how much surport people on here are offering i think its great thumbs up fellow briskodians :happy:

I agree... The brisk community have built even more on a already positive outlook

I appreciate every comment and every kind word

Deeply thanks

**** man!! i aint been about much and only just seen this :(

You have my number mate, you know where im at if ya need someone to shout at.

My wishes are with your missis and all ya family mate. Chin up and be strong for your girlies.

Lloyd, I don't really know you, although I have posted in a couple of your threads, but you have all our thoughts for you and your family.

I had to deal with this with 2 members of my family over the last 20 years, and Essexocty is right in what he said. As others have said, just be there to give support and love, try to keep your head straight and be strong, and trust to the doctors and the man upstairs to do the rest.

As others have said, just speak out to one of us if you need to shout at something when you feel the world isn't being fair.

Best of luck mate

Phil
