Line Up and Wait
A pilot acquaintance confessed that he's been absent since Sept to due
surgery to remove a 3 cm tumor (half a golf ball) that was pressing against
his brain. Blood/enzyme and pathology reports both say malignant.
Never had a seizure or black-out. Just increasingly worse head aches until
he decided that his maybe his chiro's advice to "get a MRI right now" was
plausible advice.
The surgeon says he got it all, but cannot prove it. Also says he'll never hear
"cancer-free" or "remission." What's ahead? Chemo 5x/month for all of 2012.
My acquaintance wants to return to the cockpit. Is his future now limited to
Glider and Sport Pilot? Or, less?
