17. DesertFlower....sending you my prayers and good vibes. I know someone who had a brain tumor...
Wed Feb 29, 2012, 11:11 PM
Feb 2012

who survived just fine. It depends on the kind of tumor and how early it was caught, is what I gather. And whether it's cancerous.

It was a former boss of mine. It was able to be removed by surgery. Then I think she underwent some treatment. The drs told her that it could grow back, but there was a good chance it would not, but he advised living as stress free a life as possible, and other healthy things. So she was able to retire and be a stay at home mom, so she wouldn't have to deal with work stress. She is living a happy life.

It's a long, earth shattering ordeal. But many have made it through the storm.

I wish you and your husband the strength to get through this. He is lucky to have you by his side. I will say a special prayer for you and your husband before I go to bed tonight.

Please let us know the status, when you are able.
