She just wanted Melissa to tell me because she knew I would be upset and she did not want to be the one the break the news to me. Melissa said Michelle was crying. The doctor told Michelle that the tumor is in a location that is very hard to get too. They will try to operate but they do not know if they will be able to get to the tumor. They will do a biopsy on it. The doctor now is concerned that it might be cancerous because of its location. The doctor also told Michelle that the surgery is very risky and it is possible that damage can be done to her brain while trying to remove the tumor. This is not what I wanted to hear. I am so scared for Michelle. I tried to call Michelle earlier but she had company and her husband was on the way up there. Michelle said she will call me later. I am trying to stay strong and stay positive. Please keep Michelle in your prays, we need all we can get. |
I am so sorry it wasn't better news! Just makes me want to cry! When we were up in Richardson a year or so ago I saw a few signs posted for a place that specializes in inoperable brain tumors. I wish I could remember the name, but it would be worth checking out. I think they used lasers or something. The reason I remembered it was because our friend's son had an inoperable brain tumor at the time.
