Sight Saved!

A Dad'd sight has been saved after surgeons remove a tumor through his nose.
Gross thought I know but I remember reading that Russell Watson had one of his tumors removed via his nose also. Seems to be so much less intrusive and it would appear that the recovery time is certainly reduced.

Nice to read of a successful outcome but also comes with a warning! Don't put off a visit to the doctor if you are suffering continual headaches, especially if these are accommpanied by vision problems.
