It seems Davina McCall in trouble.  Brain tumour.

She's sounding optimistic.

I hope the procedure goes well and I wish her a speedy recovery.

' " McCall said, adding: "So say a prayer for me. I am in good spirits." '

 

Will do.

Poor girl. Wish her luck with it. Sounds like it's been caught in good time.

[Lie-in King]

I hope everything goes well for her & she has a quick & comfortable recovery.

[choux]

I thought she looked thin before but now she appears gaunt. I, too, wish her well. 

[naomi24]

That's sad.  I wish her well.

It's a benign tumour - I'm sure she'll recover. Wish her well, though.  I gather she was lucky to have had it discovered early.

Am i right or wrong in thinking she turned vegan hence big weight loss?

[naomi24]

My friend has a benign tumour on the brain which surgeons, after removing part of her skull, decided was inoperable.  She has since twice been in a month long coma, she still has a piece missing from her skull - hair washing she tells me has to be done with great caution - and she has lost the use of one arm and a leg.  She has gone from a beautiful vibrant woman to a wrecked and needy invalid. Benign sounds benign but it isn't always as benign as we'd like it to be.  I sincerely hope Davina is more fortunate.

[choux]

naomi, that sounds a dreadfully sad situation for the lady and all who are involved with her. Some do not know how lucky they are.

[naomi24]

It's very sad, choux.  We're friends from school, I was her bridesmaid and she mine.   It breaks my heart to see her now.  People see the word 'benign' and think 'well that's ok then' but it isn't.  It might be ok in other areas of the body but in the brain it's a serious matter.   Bleeds caused her comas - and that can happen at any time.  The last time we were told that if she came out of it she'd likely be brain damaged.  Thank goodness that didn't happen.
