  • Simon Nash,

    Best wishes Emma. I enjoy your postings and I hope you recover as fully and as soon as possible.

  • Tim Michie,

    I'm going to be thinking of you so much these next few months Emma. Best hopes for best outcome. I was among those glad to join in the death of Adric (and guess I'll still be referring to it the same). I know the treatment effects aren't easy and hope you have someone hearer to be there for you. I'm looking forward to reading the novel; it will make me think of you more.

    First chapter down, and hooked already.

    So sorry to hear about Adric. May he wither and die, and his corpse fertilize the brilliant brain it is now plaguing.

    Thanks, Ben. Weirdly, while Adric will die (best case, etc) he’ll then just sit there, being all inert and lumpy, and I’ll drag his corpse around for the rest of my life. Seems weird.

    Chapter Two went up today, and there’s now an RSS feed available.

    My cousin had her unwanted hitchhiker removed this week. A golf-ball sized lump inside the back of her skull slowly putting the squeeze on her foramen magnum. Its now safely removed, and her limp and grip weakness disappeared overnight, along with her tendency to lose words. She's rapt with the result, and gets to take the interloper home in a jar. She's torn between displaying it on the mantel as a warning to future growths, or planting it under something in the yard so it can aid some positive growth itself.

    In summary - Die, Adric, Die!

    Yes, like buried depleted uranium, within the cranium.

    I heard about a new potential treatment in an Applied Maths course I took this year – the lecturer was so keen he used up good lecture time just telling us about it, as it was his research, but it was bloody interesting. Essentially, it’s using soundwaves focused on a point to do the same as radiation, but without any of the irradiation side effects, and with tighter control over the burn radius. Called High-intensity focused ultrasound, I think. I kept thinking “So what are you doing lecturing us?? Go invent it, finish it. There’s people who need it yesterday”.

    In clinical testing, I believe*. Looks very promising.

    *Well, actually some versions have been around for a while. His research was on focusing it more optimally.

  • Jackie Spencer,

    What shitty bad news. I've got all my fingers toes and appendages crossed. Would a blanket help? I'm a crochet fiend.
