Ring ring... Hello, Hi I'm A O's brother. Cool, I get more info.
Dr A tells me that it is a cancer, probably from the nose to the brain and that the nasal composition and brain tumor should be the same. I asked whether this is a short life long treatment scenario. He evaded the question cheeky bugger. He basically recommends surgery as the solution. Well It has to be removed. He said that it will be a combined neuro and ENT effort, @6-7 hours. But added that I will require cranial reconstruction as well. Huh? Doctor Avatar hinted that there will be some nose smashing required to get at the nasal tumor. Also my sense of smell will go. (Later this is because of them breaking some parts unfortunately containing the smell nerve.) Man imagine no longer having the satisfaction and enjoyment of smelling your own fart. The smell of the world will be gone? 'A' says that it is a minor thing, huh, this worries me. Is there more complicated things? Side effects? I also ask if I could drive. He says there is a 5-10% chance of seizures. So no driving. Man that sucks. Driving is lifes greatest freedoms. I thank him lots and hang up. I hope he had one of those cheap overseas call things that is so numerous in Australia.
