Called back to Addenbrooke’s hospital today for a repeat blood test as low platelet count discovered in Tuesdays sample (result now confirmed). Admission now will be Sunday for transfusion, and op on Monday.

Met my surgeon to discuss action based on results of Tuesday’s higher resolution MRI scan. This has revealed 3 tumours, (and suggests it might be a single more distributed tumour). To minimise the risk to my Motor Cortex, he will not touch No.1 tumour, but will instead biopsy the second one, as this is easier to access. I might be out on Tuesday evening.

I’m very impressed with the professionalism of all we have encountered.
