  1. I was hesitating to post about this at all. But there's a tight group of friends on this forum that I'm glad to be part of, and we've shared more than just the average fan talk or setlist party madness over the years, so it seems to be the right thing to do.

    After not feeling well lately I went to a doctor last week. After many checks and numerous examinations, I'm now finally diagnosed with a tumour in my brain. The ultimate news to make you want to go back to bed and wake up again and discover it's all just a bad dream. But it isn't.

    So in a couple of hours I'll see the professor who will do the surgery, and I'll get all details about how and when. The tumour needs to be taken out quickly, so we're talking about days. I'll get a definite date tonight and then I'll know when these folks will open my head.

    I'm scared for my life and don't know what to do about it. There is nothing to be done anyway. Just listen to U2 and hope for the best. After all, it's always about walking on, right?
    If you have a few positive vibes to share, send them my way, please. I could use them now.
  2. This isn't happening.


  5. I'd preferred to send you the ultimate "hola from the Cliffs of Moher" postcard like planned, Sergio... but this has to wait a little while now. Just a bit postponed.
  6. I've been delayed to answer your last PM and I'm terribly sorry for it, Kirsten, but I'll postpone my lunch time and write your deserved reply right now.


    Bitte, bleib stark on deine Herze. Alles liebe aus Spanien,


    Sergio.
  7. Oh, that's terrible...
    I know it's hard and you must be very scared (and yes, I can't imagine how you feel), but try to be strong and believe in happy ending.
    We are with you and always will be. If you believe in happy ending it is major part of success. It can't be done without believe.
    So think of it as we are all with you there (and we will be), together we are strong.
    So I wish you good luck, good doctors, good friends and family around you and sending positive energy to you.
  8. Words have failed me. I was honestly reading this expecting to hear about exams but fucking hell. I don't know what to say. Massive doses of luck and prayers due.

    I'm really sorry to hear that. But don't freak out just yet, there are lots of types of brain tumours that once removed never recur and cause no further problems. And even if it's not that kind, the current treatments are remarkably good. I worked for a long time in neurosurgery, so if you ever want to PM me about anything, feel free. Take care, dude; I'll be thinking of you.
  10. I don't even know what to say. I was expecting you to say that you're taking time off of U2start (because you said in the U2 Thoughts thread that you were thinking of doing that), but no.

    All of us here at U2start will be thinking of you Kirsten. You will be in my prayers. Take care.
  11. When you have your surgery ask the docters to take the beast out, but let U2 inside your brains. Then when you wake up, U2 will be the first to let you know it's doing well. You will recover!
    A sort of recovery was on my life. I will hope it also is for you.
    Be strong, but when you will cry, doe it. And always, when it is to Bad, Walk on. Someday you will get it behind.
    Have faith. We all (members who post often or not) are with you.

  12. speechless .. words drown in throat and i'm not able (and english wouldn't help me) to tell the feeling that touch me reading this thing, even if i'm pretty new here .. i don't know how or if words can help you anyway .. i hope that spirit and prayers could be more helpful .. and they are with you for sure in these moments

    ciao Kirsten and see you soon
