Just to let everybody know, for no known reason Lisa's rentadate myspace has been deleted so she's had to build a new one.

If everyone can go to http://www.rentadateforcharity.com and add the new one from there Lisa would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

The FAQ is particularly well written, right Becki?

Lisas in Look magazine this week.
Its a double page spread....theres a lovely pic of Lisa. She talks about her journey from august 2006 since the diagnosis. The story is really touching and it shows what an inspiration Lisa really is.xxxx

Just bought my copy of "Look" - it's a heartbreaking story to read in print. :(

becki - 4/10/2007 16:38



Yeah, it really is heartbreaking.
Lisas been through a lot, but shes a strong, amazing person and i really think the world of her. Brain Tumour UK has had loads of publicity because of Lisa, and thats something to be so proud of. She's doing a great job raising awareness and money for the charity....what a brilliant achievement for a brilliant women.xxxx

Well having lived with someone who had a brain tumour i can assure you its very difficult indeed its not like something which affects a leg or arm it affects your head in such a way that it alters your behaviour dramatically course this all depends on the location of the brain tumour as to its effect sometimes you will lose your ability to talk entirely or your eyesight i know of a 10 year old boy called ben who lost his eyesight and died a short while before my dad did very very brave boy and very sad too :(
It also has a huge impact on the family from our point of view we didnt find out untill late on that he had one he would lose his temper at the smallest things and bellow and its hard cause its only now you look back and can understand why he was like that but at the time we didnt know just put it down to tempory madness on his part :D
It wasnt untill one weekend id spent with them as i arrived back home i got a call saying he had , had a sezure and thats when they found the tumour and unfortunatly it wasnt benign but inoperable and the size of a golf ball all i can say was he was brave right till the very end and never ever lost his sense of humour and i with all this wonder praise in this thread i cannot let the oppotunity go by without prasing him he never lost his sense of fun and enjoyed many a time flirting with the care nurses at our home and trying to convince them my mother was both a lush and a drunk :D
Which thankgod she took in good humour also there are a huge amount of people with brain tumours from the very young to the very old and its awfull its great there are so many of you here that care deeply about this .
I think if my dad was going to suggest to me some way of raising funds he would probably suggest a knees up at the local pub and see how many pints i could down LOL now theres a thought !
But i dont think even i could manage that so maybe i will have to consider a date with lisa :D

No i was glad to get the chance to make it boldjohn , im sorry to hear about your parents
And im exactly the same when it comes to being ill im dramtic at the best of times but like you when i take time out to think about it and reflect i realise just how lucky iam
And whilst its truly incredible all the things people like lisa and many others manage to achchieve whilst being so ill i think its just as incredible the people who maybe havent campaigned or raised money but have spent what time they have left with the people who love them i do sometimes feel their is a pressure that if maybe you are terminally ill and dont go out and raise funds or heavens forbid die that you are classed as not having fought hard enough or giving up which is absurd most of us dont ever have to contend with being so ill and still dont do so much even in good health
So i think credit must go to all who bravely deal with what is a living nightmare weather you choose to get out there and help others or spend your time with the ones you love
