A good friend of mine has just been diagnosed with Brain Cancer. For months she has been having numbness but she and the doctors thought she needed back surgery. She had an MRI and it showed she had a brain tumor.
The doctors did a lot more test and found that the cancer is worse and more spread through out the brain than they originally thought. She has some brain swelling, and they've got her taking steroids to bring it down. It seems to be working. The doctors are doing surgery Thursday or Friday. They'll remove the tumor, and scrape off what they can. The rest will have to be done by radiation treatments. She's going to have a long road of recovery.
Pray for a miracle. She has two small children. Her name is Jessica Norman.
