Tony Forrest

Tony Forrest Hi all, I'm looking for insperation! my dad has just found out he has a tumor and is having to make a decision this weekend. Its strange but until you look around you get a feeling of isolation.
I have looked at the Braintrust website for a little help can anyone suggest any other places to look.
Everyone should be proud of what they are doing. : )

Kevin 'Fonexchange' Taylor Hi Helen i never got a chance to thank you for getting me up and seeing Dominc Heaney. His report was a little vauge but he felt that Southampton were doing all they can at this time for me. At present due to the close proximity of my tumor to the cerebral arteries Prof. Grey has said he would not consider an operation at this time.
