The doctor told her there is a team of doctors that are studying the CAT scans and they have ordered a MRI that will probably be done on her hopefully tomorrow. The doctor told her it looks like she will need surgery but they won't know for sure until after the MRI is done. Michelle is 37 years old and has a husband and 3 boys, ages 10, 17 and 18. All your prayers will be greatly appreciated. I will keep everyone updated as I learn more. Also, if anyone has dealt with this type of brain tumor I would love to hear from you. I know Michelle will overcome this with all your prayers. |
not sure if my mom's brain tumor was the same kind or not....her's was up about mid way...started behind left ear and just traveled and rested between lobes....it was the size of a golf ball...it was totally removed and was not cancer....she had the surgery in November of this past year.....at first she acted as though she had had a stroke...but that was cause the tumor had been setting on her main nerve for years......so everything had to wake back up.......today most side effects are gone....if she gets tired you still notice some of it...and if she trys to talk too fast you still hear a little slur....but she is fine...never been bitter or anything,,,said God has a reason for all this....we were the ones that worried...she never did......good luck and God Bless you and your family
