- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- My craniotomy was 7 weeks ago and this is where I am with my diagnosis and waiting to find out what type of brain tumour I had. Recovery and waiting for the results has been such a long, stressful process so thank you to everyone who has reached out ❤️
I'm sorry if this video seems negative I'm still feeling a wee bit down but since filming this video I'm feeling very positive about meeting with my neurosurgeon on Thursday :)

I'm feeling nervous but positive about Thursday since recording this! Hopefully it's good news 😊
Best wishes for good news, recovery, and good health. Sending love from California. ❤
Good luck and best wishes for good news!
fingers crossed ❤ sending positive energy 🙏🏻🙏🏻
🙏
Hope you get good news! 🙏🫶🏻 Stay positive ❤
As an ex NHS administrator the lack of 'bedside' manner and communication never fails to amaze me. If he has the results it is mental abuse to leave you waiting. Take care, live life to the full whatever.
This must be so hard. We had to wait for 2 weeks for our son's diagnosis, and that felt like torture. I can't imagine not knowing after 7 weeks. (my son did not have cancer, which I am so grateful for)
that's great I'm so happy to hear that and hope he's okay :)
Thank god. Seriously screw cancer.
Yep. I had a slight suspicion for cancer for a week and it was the most stressful week of my life😬 I hope things turn out well for you
Elreann, "no news is good news" was my nana's favourite saying at times of stress, so I'm hoping for the best for you. My love and prayers that keep you strong and positive 🙏 🤗 💕x
She was 100% right ❤️ thank you so much ☺️
I’m so glad you found comfort from those 3 subscribers. I’m praying for your complete remission. I’ll pray for peace while you wait for your appointment!
thank you so much ❤️
I understand what you're going through. my brother had his surgery two weeks before you did and, they still don't know. And has not started his treatment yet, other than meds for seizures.
I am sorry that you’re having to endure this! I’m a Registered Nurse in Los Angeles and hearing that you’re doctor has biopsy results and is making you wait another week is infuriating!
Personally, I would request get an earlier telephonic appt to review the Pathology.
Speak with the Office Manager and explain that you may need to move back to Ireland and cannot wait a week if you are moving to start planning based on the Pathology results 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
We are extremely blessed in the US to have the healthcare we do. People complain but they have no idea what goes on elsewhere in the world
@@coriannevlogs8231 If you can afford it!
@@coriannevlogs8231 I can tell you what is going on in Russia. For $50 you can get an MRI and the result today. Honestly I don't even get how you live like this.
I discovered I had a tumor in March last year, I had a craniotomy and I experienced what you are going through. It's very difficult not to know if you have cancer or not and I know that all the torrent of thoughts eats away at the soul. After six weeks, I received a soul-soothing message: I didn't have cancer. Even better: I didn't have a tumor, but rather the rupture of a gigantic AVM that, unfortunately, killed part of my brain and made my neurosurgeon believe that I had a tumor that was bleeding.
Everyone who goes through similar episodes (tumor, aneurysm, AVM, bleeding or any other event that affects the brain) begins to see life from a different perspective and reconsiders priorities and thoughts.
I really hope that you have the best prognosis possible and that, in the future, you can look back on everything you've been through and be proud that you won this battle.
wow I'm so sorry you had to go through that but I'm very glad to hear it wasn't cancer. Thank you for sharing and such a lovely comment ☺ I'm hoping you're feeling great now and proud of yourself for what you've been through!
curious neuroscience student here, but what part of your brain died and what has it been like dealing with that?
@@casw1883 When I had the hemorrhage, the auditory cortex and Wernicke's area were affected. I couldn't understand spoken language, and when I tried to speak, the words didn't make sense. My internal monologue was intact and I was able to think normally, just a little confused due to the seizure and the medications (they started giving me corticosteroids to combat the toxicity of the blood that was in contact with the brain parenchyma). I could also read and understand everything. After 5 days of bleeding, I had a craniotomy and a mass (which, at first, was a tumor) measuring 2.5x2.5x2.5cm was removed. This removed mass was part of my Wernicke's area and auditory cortex (to a lesser extent). Due to the depth of the lesion, part of the white matter was also removed (more specifically, the arcuate fasciculus (AF) and superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF)). With the lack of fascicles, I have a small (nowadays) difficulty in speaking and writing, placing me as a sufferer of conduction aphasia and dyslexia. Neuroplasticity helped me a lot and continues to help me, but I still suffer from paraphasias and it is still very difficult to repeat (I understand everything, but I can't repeat) sentences or understand sequences of numbers (which need to be broken into smaller parts).
There's a good chance I'll become a neurosurgeon. As I mentioned in my original comment, anyone who goes through situations like the one I went through begins life with different eyes. I always liked neuroscience and what happened to me lit a fire in me.
As I ''lost'' my English, there will probably be grammar errors, but I imagine it is possible to understand everything.
I uploaded the first MRI (before surgery) and one post-surgery. Feel free to ask me anything.

It's horrible it's taking so long to get you a proper diagnosis, it must be so stressful. Crossing my fingers you get a "good" result, sending best wishes your way.
thank you :)
Please remember, no one knows how long we will be here on this planet. I hope you get good news, but regardless of what they say, live your life to the fullest. No one really knows. 💕💕💕
you're 100% right. Thank you so much for this comment ❤️
Eireann, I discovered you through your viral video and now I'm waiting everyday so nervous for you. There are so many people who care about you who haven't even met you, but would love to. Sending lots of love from Spain and manifesting positive news!
thank you so so much ❤I'm so jealous you're in Spain lol! I lived in Alicante for a year when I was wee and we love to go to Spain every Summer :)
Your mental clarity and groundedness in such times of uncertainty is absolutely incredible and a real inspiration to many, myself included! You have been in my thoughts since I stumbled upon your first video regarding the tumour. I really pray that it's good news for you next week. Sending Love and support.
-Eddy from Belfast, NI
aw Eddy thank you so much for such a lovely comment it means so much to me :)
PS I miss Belfast lol I'm so jealous!!
You are so incredibly brave! I know how it feels to not know and it's horrible, I had a brain MRI last summer and the wait to find out whether or not my head is okay was horrible, turns out I have an AVM in my brain and now have to wait another 6-7 months to have treatment because our NHS just isn't the fastest, living with a ticking time bomb in my head is hell, I can't imagine how you're feeling but keep strong, you got this!!!
I'm so so sorry that's what you're going through right now. I know that you're SO strong and you're going to be so proud of yourself when you get through this scary situation. Hopefully they can rush that for you and get you in as soon as possible!
@@diaryofeireann Thank you for the kind words!! We’ll both be okay in the long run I’m sure of it! I really appreciate the videos you’ve made about your recovery from craniotomy since I’ll probably have to have one as well and it’s great to have someone explain the process and recovery etc, I wish you all the best and good luck! Thank you for being here!! :)
@@BobbyVMedia of course!! Everything will be grand so don't worry :) I'm here if you have any questions at all
😅
My uncle passed 3 decades ago from A brain tumor . He was in his 30s. He waited and waited for results yet his condition deteriorated as the months went on. His speech, movement from his left side of his body were affected. I see you in a different boat. You look awesome, no speech or movement issues. Prayers for good results. Take care
I'm so so sorry that he went through that. That is so awful I'm sorry your family had to see that. Thank you for your kind words and I will be saying a wee prayer for your uncle and family tonight ❤
As I'm suffering a fatal brain disease and already undergone twice major brain surgeries I am confident to repeat this phrase to you as my Neurosurgeon says "HOPE FOR THE BEST,BE READY FOR THE WORST" Yes this is a horrible line to hear but the REALITY to us having this. Before heading to surgeries we positively waited for my MRI result, we expected for a good news but instead a bad result came. I had no other choice other than to accept the truth,faced my 2 times very risky major brain surgeries and Now 16 months after,still on recovery state and struggling still due to the surgeries post complications that most is lifetime but I WILL TELL YOU I AM HAVING NOW A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE compared my life before with severe continues headache. We can do it!💪,my hugs and prayers from Philippines🙏💚
I’m a pediatric oncology icu nurse and I have seen so many kids/teens/young adults throughout their cancer journey. One of my patients told me he was grateful for his cancer because it taught him what was important to him in life. Perhaps this journey will show you that being close to family is what you value most. I wish you all the luck next week and will continue to follow your journey.
thank you so much for sharing this ❤ I 100% agree. Going through this has put everything in my life into perspective without a doubt. Thank you for your kind words :)
I feel waiting seven weeks for results is unacceptable. If they don't know what type of tumor it is, they could at least tell you what they've ruled out so far. I hate the way this has been handled, but admire how you've handled the situation so much ❤️.
thank you❤
I am genuinely in awe, your resilience is staggering. I wish you all the health, happiness and love in the world.
this is such a lovely comment ❤ thank you so so much!
What an awful feeling the unknown is, especially when it concerns your health. Sending as many positive vibes as i can summon over to you in Canada for a grand outcome on thursday.
Aye I can't wait for that feeling to be gone :) thank you so much
I wish healthcare folks would watch these videos to get a sense of the importance of not making a person wait on results that are currently available.
Find a way to have someone go over the results sooner rather than later.
Good luck next Thursday, sending positive energy your way.
I’m praying for you 💜 I can’t imagine the frustration, fear, and stress. You’re brave and strong.
thank you so so much ❤️
I cannot imagine how difficult waiting this long has been for you. I would be a raving lunatic by now! I waited 2 weeks for pathology on my dog's spleen tumor, and that was so hard. Then, had to wait another 20 days to get a final diagnosis, but that is NOTHING compared to your wait. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for a proper diagnosis, and also for one that is benign!
Omg your poor wee dog I'm so sorry :( aye definitely the hardest 7 weeks of my life to be honest. It's 8 weeks tomorrow! Thank you ❤️
@@diaryofeireann Believe it or not, she really WAS a wee dog - 5 lb. chihuahua! But, our final diagnosis wasn't as bad as it could be. It was a very rare indolent (slow-progressing) b-cell lymphoma. She's had follow-up ultrasounds for a year, and she's still cancer free and doing GREAT! We are crossing all fingers and paws for you to receive good news next week!
Awe. Crossing your fingers and paws. So cute!
My 29 year old son just had his second brain tumor removed. First one was at 6 years old, recovered fine. This time was a long 9 week recovery and still needs a few more weeks before returning to work. Praying for positive results. Stay strong. We decided he needs scans twice a year going forward. Bless you.
I'm so so sorry that he is going through that right now. He is incredibly strong and I'm sure you should be so proud of him. Twice a year is definitely a good call I would love to do the same. I will be saying a wee prayer tonight for both yourself and your son so that this is the last time you go through this ❤
Don't worry about this words if the doctor want to see you, because sometimes it is not bad , a few months ago, I was waiting like you for the results, in my case was the breast, and when the nurse call me and said that the doctor want to see me and talk about the results I was shocked, I was only thinking about my kids , and that I'm only 36 years old,but thanks to God and all prayers, I took only a anti inflammatory for a couple of months.
Be strong and God bless you. Big hugs from Italy.
That's great news I'm so happy for you but I understand that must of been such a scary situation. Thank you :)
I would ring the neurologist again. you will no doubt get their PA/Assistant. Ask repeatedly, you need an earlier appointment or some feedback. Explain this is affecting your daily life and mental health. I had to do this a few times after my surgery. I was very persistant. ❤
Wishing you a full recovery! ❤
thank you ❤️
Hi Eireann, waiting is the hardest thing! Especially when it's about such an important thing as your health. I'm praying you get solid answers and not ones that just leave you with more questions. Love, from Karen in Cloverdale, Indiana
Hi Karen thank you for your kind words ☺❤
Keep strong! I live in Ontario and our healthcare system takes an abysmally long time for diagnoses and in general really. Praying for favorable results and good luck on the move back to Ireland whenever that happens :)
So sorry you guys have to deal with your government run healthcare system. I don't want to make this political but here in the states our private healthcare system is comparably very fast despite its many other issues. Best of luck
thank you so so much 🥰
I feel with you and everyone else! You are brave.
My prayers are with you! Much love from Germany! :)
thank you so much ❤
The waiting is the killer, I have had cancer twice now (not in the brain) and the wait just slays me. I’m now just over 5 years in remission.
❤
wow you're so so strong. I'm so glad to hear that you're in remission! Clearly you're killing it :) I will say a wee prayr for you tonight that you never ever have to deal with it again
Praise God for all of your healing! He is really taking care of you through all of this. I recently found out that I probably have a brain tumor. I am in the early stages of testing, so I don't know much about it yet. I found your videos and your attitude about all that you are going through has really helped me. I pray that you continue to heal and that God gives you peace knowing that He will always be there for you through everything you are going through. Jesus has given me so much peace with what I am about to go through as well. I am scared, but I know He will give me strength to get through it, and I know He will continue to give you strength as well. God bless you!
Hi there, I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this right now. I know how stressful that is but you've got this :) I will be praying for you tonight that everything moves quickly for you and easily. If you have any questions at all I am here for you ❤ Please try not to worry too much.
@@diaryofeireann thank you Éireann for you kind words, encouragement and prayers. I appreciate that so much. I will find out more tomorrow whether or not I do. I have a really strong feeling that I do have a brain tumor, I have had symptoms for many years, that I did not know were symptoms until now. I pray that yours is not cancerous, and mine as well. Stay strong, Jesus will help us both through this. Thank you again, I will keep you in my prayers. 💕
It must be such a stressful time for you and your loved ones. I truly admire you for all your patience, strength and just the way you eloquently talk about your thoughts and experiences. I do have the same thoughts as you; if the situation was critical then you would be called in asap. So i am hoping and praying its the news you are hoping for. You are such a beautiful, elegant and caring young woman and i wish you all the best for Thursday. So many of us are praying for you darling. Stay strong, you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers ❤.
thank you so so much for such kind words❤
Well, good luck for next week, fingers are crossed that's it will be better news then previously expected 🤞
Hang in there Eireann,were all here right beside you,good or bad.When you go back home please keep your channel going ok? all my thoughts and prayers,Carolyn xoxox
Hi Carolyn this comment is so lovely :) I started my channel originally to have somewhere to store my memories and look back on things so I definitely will keep my channel. Thank you ❤
Hey, I personally think it's a good sign that the surgeon wants to speak to you face to face! People's health needs to be treated with the upmost respect, and I think face-to-face contact means that the surgeon really cares! I'm praying for the best news possible
I can’t even imagine what you are going through! God bless you and I’m praying for you!!!! From Virginia
thank you ❤
I feel so bad that you are still waiting for your pathology results, but am also hopeful that the news will be positive since you are being made to wait an additional week. The surgeon should have made the time for you and not let this drag out any longer. I think I would have parked myself in his waiting room until he spoke to me. 🥴 We are all praying for good news. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I hope that you get the best possible news on Thursday. Please don’t go to the appointment by yourself. If Devon can’t go with you, take a good friend. If you need radiation and chemo, we’ll be rooting and praying for you, but whatever the diagnosis - you’ve got this! I think that the fact that you look and sound so good, with no deterioration in your condition - and the fact that the doctor didn’t rush you in for the results, is good news. ❤
I think you're right! 😊 Thank you for such a kind comment I really appreciate it ❤
Thank you for sharing your journey. A mass was found in my mom’s brain and the up coming surgery is stressing me out. Seeing your amazing recovery is helping me have peace. Praying for your complete recovery.
All the best from Ireland 🇮🇪 you got this xx
Thank you so much ❤ Missing home lol I'm so jealous!! Hopefully I'll be back soon :)
The waiting is the hardest part, but the fact that they are waiting a week to see you seems like a positive thing!
But kinda cruel to her mentally.
I’ve had my share of health issues, but speaking specifically about cancer diagnosis, appointments and stuff.
I think, speaking strictly from my own experiences, that you are 100% right about the appointment being made for next week.
I knew the answer before I got to my doctor based on the quick appointment date. I really think, if it is bad, you’d be there today.
I mean, they should understand the amount of stress this length of wait has caused and get those answers to you today anyway, I would probably be feeling a lot irritated. But you are handling it with good energy grace and positivity . I’ll be watching for good news. ❤️
thank you so much for your kind words and reassurance❤and thank you for sharing your experience I'm so sorry to hear that you've had a lot of health issues. I will be praying for you tonight that your health is great and you have no further problems. You should be so proud of yourself for getting through every challenge you've faced :)
Also, I thought of something else…. Every time a dr walks in your room, ask for a business card! In the future, If multiple drs are involved, write down which dr prescribed what medication. When they say cancer patients work around the clock, “they” mean it! We found it easier to get a bound note book and journal each day when there is an encounter with a dr. After years of treatment it got a bit confusing to us all. (My brother, mom and I) I hope they can diagnose you soon. Best of luck. I’m still hanging in there for you and praying for you as well. You got this!! 😊
That is such a helpful tip I will definitely do that going forward! thank you so much ❤️
It's always good to pray and to be positive
I know we only see you in your videos but you come across so full of life and healthy that it just has to be ok!! Recovering from a craniotomy isn’t easy and your going through added emotional stress. You are so kind in your videos so I’ll be the mean one and say that Im pretty ticked off at your neurosurgeon ! There is a thing called Empathy.
Positive thoughts and prayers have been sent your way since I saw your first video. ❤
Thank you so so much ❤I really appreciate your kind words and prayers 😊
Hello sweetheart I am a grandmother and wish to give you a grandma hug. Praying for you.
I'm very sorry you're still waiting. I'm the type of person that likes to get things done right away. The limbo of waiting causes so much anxiety. I'm currently waiting on some referrals so I can have a brain decompression surgery. Nothing compares to what you're going through but..
Many prayers for you and your family.
I'm so so sorry that you're going through that right now it's a scary situation no doubt but everything will be grand :) I will say a wee prayer and send all the good vibes your way that everything goes smoothly and quickly! Thank you
Right. My mom’s been waiting months to have her double mastectomy to try and eradicate the cancer and we won’t know if it has spread until she has the surgery. Finally on the 30th this month she’ll have her surgery but there’s been so much anxiety about everything with the waiting game.
Praying for the best news possible.
So frustrating they are making you wait! Good or bad news it is unconscionable to make you worry for one minute longer than necessary! The doctors do this all the time, though. One doctor did it to my husband last year (in the US.) Wanted us to wait a month to get updated results from a CT lung scan and we already knew he was fighting a terminal scarring disease. I just had a thought. If bad news, they probably would not make you wait, because it would be important to start treatment right away. I know you can feel all the good wishes, love, concern, and prayers. May the support give you the strength to function with confidence and peace of mind if the news is not good. If you have to move back to Ireland, I hope the process is not complicated. I know your family and friends will welcome you with open arms. And you now have friends all over the world! Thinking of you and hoping for good news. ❤️
Ah Eirinn the waiting is the worst part. Candle lighting every day for you! Good luck for Thursday afternoon. X
Your a hero Eireann. I'm from Tyrone, still living here, are you still at the homeland. You sound like you're from around here somewhere ❤
You are a ray of sunshine. This Earth needs people like you, beautiful and brave♥
this is so so kind of you to say ❤️ thank you so much
I know how waiting a week to talk to a nurse about my pituitary tumor felt, so I may have some idea of your experience, but only an idea. Sending much love and good vibes your way from the Colorado Rockies. Your sharing has me thinking I should share some things too. So thank you for being willing to shine a light and be a light in dark places and challenging times.
I'm so sorry that you had to go through that stressful time. I hope everything is okay :) Thank you so much for your kind words!!
I wish you the best! Hoping for good news!
Thanks for the update! Prayers are for you every day! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 My son is traveling to Ireland in May, I am glad you are going home! Family is everything!🩷🩷🩷❣
You're right and I hope he has a lovely trip!! :)
I wish and pray the surgeon has great news for your health . Good luck 🍀
Hey thanks for the update. I am still praying for you and hope that your prognosis is a good one. In the mean time if you need any emotional support there are plenty of options, don't be afraid to reach out for help i cant imagine what you are going through but as they didnt book an immediate appointment does sound positive. Stay strong ❤
That's not a bad idea at all. It's been a tough process and you're 100% right so I'm taking that as a good sign :) Thank you ❤️
Éireann, hoping your New Year's will be a bright one. Lots of 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 from me. I love your Irish voice. May you be cancer free. 🌹
Thank you so so much ❤️
Today I watched your vlog while my daughter was undergoing chemo. She is 26 years young. And today she received amazing news and she only has 3 more days of treatment! My advice to you (which you can take or leave) is to rest (ad you are still healing from a big surgery), pray, eat something delicious, hug your pets and your sweet Devon, journal and stay as calm as possible (not easy) as you await your appointment. Receive all of the positive energy being sent your way from around the world! I pray that you are able to withstand the long waiting game…you are almost there. Everything will fall into place for you, even if it doesn’t feel like it at this moment. God will take every little worry and turn it all around for you. Prayers from Ohio, US…just a few hours away from you! 💛🙏🏼🫶
From simply getting a Bunny across a border to the journey of a Visa or tumor - your journey has been informative, passionate, & Strengthening.❤ Many thanks for sharing it
wow thank you so so much for such a lovely comment this has made me feel so much better 😊 Thank you for sharing your kindness with me ❤
What my wife and I did was ask the DR. what they would recommend to their Sister, Mother, spouse. It gave us a lot more comfortable with the treatment plan.
We continue to pray for you and your family. I think Med folks have to quit leaving people hanging. It is horrible waiting to hear what they have to say. Wishing you the best in your future move. There is nothing like family. Take care, thinking of you and your family.
thank you so much ❤️
You've got this! No matter what, get back to family because love is healing. You've got this!
Thank you so much ❤
Éireann, I hope the appointment goes well for you. They don't usually give a final diagnosis over the phone, but one never knows. No matter how it goes, there is no guarantee of any kind. Good or bad, it's still a toss up for us all. Just live your life because it's the only thing anyone can do. The world loves you. Everything will be okay. 💕💕💕
this is for sure frustrating but i guess being frustrated is the last thing you'd want to be, hopefully it is a good outcome when he tells you the results. It would make sense to me too that if it was something important with bad results he would've settled an appointment as soon as possible so that you don't waste your time, I really hope its good news 🙏🏼🫂❤️ stay strong!
thank you so much ❤️ and you're 100% right so I'm feeling positive!
Praying for good results. Been following your story since your first video and love your energy. I has Leukemia as a kid and can say the process of treatment and going through this is so heavily influenced from having a positive and strong mind and you show that so clearly. You’re so amazing. Love your energy.
thank you so much for such a lovely comment ❤I'm so sorry to hear that you went through that when you were so young but you should be so proud of yourself :) I hope you're 100% healthy and happy now!
Hang in there, I know it is so hard waiting and waiting and not knowing. Still keeping you in my prayers!
thank you❤
You are a very self possessed self aware young woman Eireann. I don’t think I’d be as outwardly positive as you under the same circumstances ( although I know you do have your moments where you’re scared too). Thankyou so much for sharing your experience with us…. You have my greatest respect . Know you are in my prayers often. Live in the light honey. Xo
Hello Eireann! I hope you will soon receive good new❤
If not I highly recommend you to get treatment in Ireland. I spent 4 years in Canada and my health was significantly declining, I didn’t receive a proper treatment, was misdiagnosed so many times.
I was blessed with an opportunity to return back to Europe and get the treatment I required. Never ever again I will reside in Canada. My husband is Canadian and he will never return back home due to absolutely failed healthcare system.
You are young and beautiful and I wish you good luck and a long happy healthy life ❤
I cannot even imagine going 7 weeks and not knowing. I would be an utter wreck! I am praying you receive good news. I completely understand re: face to face making you nervous. I don’t blame you for feeling you need to be near family.
I have am a dual citizen of the US and Greece. I actually want to live in Greece full time but my mum is older & she doesn’t want to live abroad. I can’t do it while she’s still here. You don’t get that time back with your loved ones so even if the news is good, I completely understand wanting to be near loved ones.
Sending you a big hug & well wishes!
I have heard that doctors almost have to give diagnoses in person, it's like protocol. Also I feel your pain totally on having to wait a week, I had a biopsy done this summer and had to wait almost 3 weeks to talk to the doctor, it was horrible having to wait that long. I am sending you the best wishes for good news!
Thank you for letting me know! I hope it was all good news on your end too :)
@@diaryofeireann You're welcome! I don't know for sure but I think this is what doctors like to do. Mine wasn't perfect news, but could have been way worse, it is a precancerous blood disorder called an MGUS that has to be watched. Good chance it will never become anything. I totally understand how worrying these things are and am sending prayers your way! 💕
Thank you for the update, I am so sorry that you are still waiting for the detailed diagnosis, that is rubbish. Please stay positive, thinking of you ❤
Hoping for the best results and a plan to help you.
Not trying to throw a spanner but ask if you can fly after hearing news.
Record your visit to review after. Tend to go numb with all the information and you might be busy reacting instead of clearly listening to everything.
If you intend to fly back, ask for your complete medical file with test results and notes.
It will take time and both Dr and front desk should be told.
They won't forward actual details to another country. The abridged version could lead to details overlooked.
I know personally living in Canada can feel isolated even with a partner when missing family.
Hopefully the pup had current shots three months ago or longer. Red tape to avoid quarantine upon arrival.
Real sorry you have been through all this but you have faced with grace.❤
This is such a helpful message thank you so so much! I will actually reach out to the hospital tomorrow now. Thank you ❤️
@@diaryofeireann Get results first to avoid them from writing you off please. If they know you want to leave, they would. It's Ontario
Best of luck, sending all the positive vibes your way to manifest the best news possible ❤
thank you so much❤
Eireann I can’t imagine how hard it is to be in this position. I have such a strong feeling however that you are going to live a long and happy life. I’m sending you so much love and strength and prayers agus níl aon tintean mar do thintean féin! ❤
thank you SO much 🥰❤️
Looking at you,noone would ever believe you had brain surgery.Our prayers are with you.I gotta say,I wouldnt take the news you got well at 52!So you have have a great attitude about it.I think havinh a good attitude has everythong to do with a good prognosis...
I hope the news is good for you Eireann. The medical advancements in this area are improving constantly. I’m hoping for you.
Thank you 😊
Sending good vibes and positive outcomes your way, Eireann. This too shall pass and you'll be back to regular mundane happenings before you know it and won't you LOVE it! Thinking of you and wishing you well for Thursday xxx
lol I can't wait for that honestly 😂 A quiet life is a happy life!! Thank you so much ❤
My heart goes out to you sweet lady.....You will have a long and fruitful life.
I don't blame you one bit for being nervous, but i agree with what you said, that if it were seriously bad they probably would have wanted to see you right away. I also think going back home to Ireland is a wonderful idea... you need that support system, no matter what ails you! The best vacation i ever had was in Eire... i love it there!!!
thank you so much ❤️ and yes I'm excited to go home :) I'm glad you love it there too! I hope you had a lovely wee trip
Manifesting the best news possible and praying for you❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Praying for you, sweetie. May God bless you and grant you His peace.
My dear Eireann, I am a Christian and I am praying for you and your diagnosis. I hope everything goes well🥹🥹 much love from Barcelona☀️☀️
I've been so touched by your story. I only discovered your initial post a couple of days age so your seven weeks has been condensed into two days for me. Can't imagine how stressful this must be for you. My heart goes out to you and you'll remain in my thoughts throughout your journey. Thanks you for sharing and I'm pleased you find it helpful to post. On a light note my family has kept litter box trained "house rabbits" for over twenty years and it shows what kind of person you are to be concerned with its welfare while you deal with your health.
Thank you so much for such kind words❤ I LOVE that you and your family have done that lol! I love our wee rabbit it would break my heart to leave her here and I know she would 100% be missing us too. Thank you again 😊
Hoping for the best possible results for you!❤ Love from Germany
thank you so so much ❤ I've been to Berlin and loved it 😊
What a difficult time for you. Good decision re going back home. Manifesting to the universe and God it was a blip and nothing to worry about in your future xx ❤
I also have a scary appointment next week on the 16th in my quest for a diagnosis. We will both be twisting in the wind together. I will be thinking of you, and hopefully, that will distract me and keep my nerves calm. All the best vibes coming to you from Texas. And i agree! There is no place like home!
I’m so sorry you’re going through that right now. I will be thinking about you too! I hope everything goes well and time flies in to the 16th so you’re no longer waiting :) thank you very much for
Hey Ann, Look forward to the best posible news next week, and a great 2024 for you and yours! 💞 ~ R
Scary time, Éireann. So sorry that you are still in the dark. I hope the news is positive.
thank you
praying for your healing Eireann.
Prayers for your recovery. Also I recently visited Ireland. Beautiful country.
you are incredibly patient and brave. I hope you get a positive report!
thank you so much ❤️
That’s right 😇 Never lose hope. When I’m upset and feel like nothing is going my way I start watching Kent Hovind videos like ‘Why on earth did God’s let this happen for Heaven’s sake?’ It’s been such a blessing!
I hope you live to be a 100 years old !@@diaryofeireann
Seven weeks is so incredibly hard....I'm sorry you have had to go through this. I am sending you positivity for next week. I think any final report on something as significant as a tumour should be done in person so I wouldn't panic in that regard. Sending wishes for the best news possible.
I think you're 100% right! Thank you so so much ❤
Please stay positive , it will be good news . Girl get on a flight and go home as soon as you can . Having family support is priceless . Ask for copies of all your medcal reports and xrays so it will be an easier transition when you get home. Good luck
Keeping you Eireann in my prayers thanks for the update I pray that God will give you his peace I am sad you have had no answers regarding the tumour but hopefully your Appointment next Thursday will give you the answers you are seeking Blessings Ian
Hoping and praying for good news
Sending all the positive vibes your way! ❤🕊️💫
thank you so much ❤️
I cannot fathom this waiting. That has to be torture!!! You are handling this with such grace and poise. Will keep you in prayers. I DO think it's a GREAT sign they are waiting a week. They may just want to see you in person because you still need treatment and they want to go over a lot. But time will tell, but you are just beautiful inside and out. Will continue to pray for your healing and long life
Prayers for good news. I definitely support your desire to be near family back in Ireland. Very smart idea. But if its complex and you think you need more options please consider the USA. For all its many flaws and challenges its still bar none the best healthcare in the world. Canadian pts in my experience are always in shock at the speed and dept of care they receive in the US without constantly being put off and slid to the back of the line waiting for answers that never come. All the best, we are all cheering for you!
My primary care will do this a lot - randomly saying he needs to speak in person. There are just some things doctors prefer to discuss face-to-face, not necessarily bad things. Just important things! A nurse at my doctor’s office once told me not to worry too much, because if it was something BAD, that he would be like get in the office asap. Sounds to me like your doctor wants to have a good thorough talk on where you’re at in your journey, is all. I pray you are holding up okay, do not downplay your feelings during this time ❤ They are valid. Sending love from my family to yours. I keep checking back frequently for updates - you are not in this alone. We are all with you and checking on ya like a bestie
I don’t know you Eirann, but your accent makes me feel a connection with you. I too am from the north of Ireland and will pray for you as you walk this path. It must be so hard but you come across as a strong girl who has thought through the options for you. You also have a supportive partner. I will pray for you. The waiting and not knowing is definitely the hardest thing. Xx🙏❤️💕 God bless you xx
