Oh bless her heart and yours.

May I ask a question? Is it possible the part that got left is the part that is causing the headaches? I am praying it's not but I just don't know much about all this. I couldn't even imagine.

Sending prayers and hugs to you and your family.

I will definately say a prayer for Michelle - my heart goes out to her husband and their three boys too. I wish I had some knowledge to pass along. Be strong! :hug60:

To do the brain surgery the surgeons have to remove part of the skull to get to the tumor. Severe pain afterwords is to be expected. I just spoke with my sil and he said Michelle has been very sick all day and can't keep anything on her stomach. The back of her head is swollen and her throat. It is just going to take time for her head to heal. It tears me up just thinking about my baby suffering the way she is. I pray her headache eases soon. Thanks you so much for your prayers.

Wow... no one person should ever have to endure such a thing. I can't even imagine. it's hard for me to not get angry at stuff like this sometimes. My MIL passed 1 week after my youngest daughters 1st bday from cancer. I've never know a nicer person and when people like her or Michelle have to deal with things like that and this, well I just don't get it. I know there's a bigger picture and why for it all but sometimes it's just hard to not get angry about it.

I would imagine this pain like you said is to be expected but once the swelling goes down it might be alot better for Michelle. Mom it's hard for you though to think of her this way. I always could handle my own pain well but when it was one of my kids....another story. God Bless You All, you have been through so much but I'm thinking there is a rainbow around the corner. We'll be praying that is so. Hugs, Joan

Meningioma

From what I read about this type of tumor it is divided into 3 different types and it sounds like Michelle's is a type 2 or type 3. Experts are unsure what causes these types of tumors but I have read on other websites that chemical exposure can cause them. Michelle works for the church and does all the cleaning and does not wear gloves so it is possible that could have contributed to the tumor. Plus the fact that she smokes. These types of tumors are more common in women. It also says that some experts think there could be a link to hormones that causes them. Since Michelle has had a hysterectomy I don't know if there can be any connection there. I know we will never know the exact cause.

I think they said it could take up to a week to get the biopsy back. There is a lot of information we do not know yet and I am sure we will find out more once the biopsy comes back. What I do know is that they clipped the main vessel that was feeding the tumor and the doctors hope that will cause the tumor to stop growing. I know there is a possibility she will need radiation treatment. I think they will know more after they do the next MRI and I don't know how long until they do another one of those. The doctor mentioned maybe having to go in again later after the remaining tumor has shrunk and try to remove it. We really just don't know at this point. Michelle is already telling David that she will not go through this surgery again. I know she feels horrible. We just have to keep faith that the worst is over and Michelle will make a speedy recovery.
Barbara I don't see how Michelle could stand 1 surgery let alone another one, she is a very strong lady! We all will just have to pray harder that it will not return and go away all together. I'm still praying for you both. Hugs and Love, Lee

so glad the surgery is over and she is doing ok ! Sending prayers and hugs

Michelle is having a better day today. She is up and walking around (baby steps). I even got to speak to her briefly on the phone. Her head, neck and throat are still swollen and she still has a pounding headache but considering all she has been through she is doing great. The nurses are really amazed at her progress. My sil sent me a sweet picture to my cell phone of Michelle sleeping with her teddy bear. It made me feel good to see a picture of her. I know it is all the wonderful prayers from all my Yorkie friends and Michelle's church that has gotten her through this. Michelle is a strong woman and she will get through this with all our prayers. Thanks so much.:thumbup:

Saleswman 08-01-2008 05:20 PM

I think of you all daily....sending prayers your way....to recovery...think positive.....she is going to beat these headaches....

So glad to hear that today is a better day for Michelle. May her improvement continue to surprise the medical professionals - God is Great

Betty'sMom 08-01-2008 06:50 PM
I am so glad she is doing better. I think about her sometimes throughout the day.

bjh 08-01-2008 07:34 PM
Ya'll are all so sweet. All your kind words mean so much to me and Michelle. I want to give you all a big hug. :ghug:

4doggiemama 08-02-2008 08:13 PM
Glad to hear that there is a slight improvement. Even "baby steps" are welcomed, aren't they. It's so hard to understand the "why." When our daughter was 6 yrs. old she had a benign tumor the size of a small cantaloupe taken out of her chest. For three wks. we were told it was a fast growing malignant tumor. All I wanted was for it to be me and not our daughter. I'm sure it must feel like a nightmare that you just can't wake up from. I look back at our experience and that is the way I remember feeling. Hugs and prayers. Joanne

My youngest daughter, Melissa drove me to see Michelle today. Michelle looked great. You just don't know how good it was to see her and to see her doing so well. Her hair is already starting to grow back and she really looks cute with no hair. She was a regular chatter box and told me many stories of what all she has been going through and what she had seen when she was getting ready to go into surgery. We walked around a little bit. She is taking small steps but she moves out pretty well. The doctors continue to be amazed at her speedy recovery. Michelle has a huge zipper scar from the middle of the back of her head all the way part way down her neck. Her neck and throat are still swollen but she said it was much worse a few days ago. Her throbbing headache is gone and her vision is much better. I know she still has a long haul ahead of her but we are all optimistic that she will beat this.

I just spoke to Michelle and she is now home......YEAH!!!!!! She said they were frantically trying to clear out the hospital because of the storm coming. Michelle will have to go back in two weeks to be checked out. We do know they will do another cat scan or mri and then decide if she will need radiation. We will continue to pray that she will heal and grow stronger each day. It has been amazing and it is all because of everyone's support and prayers. Thank you all so much.

From one Mom to another I cannot tell you how happy I am to hear this. For Michelle to be rid of that terrible headache must make her feel like now I do this and fight to get back my strength and to see you was just the medicine Dr's cannot prescribe but know that it's the medicine that works wonders. Bless you all. Hugs, Joan
