Brain Tumor

[klkak]

The Wolf pack is a wonderful bunch of people.

Debra received cardiac clearance from her Cardiologist. This was a big step. Without the clearance she would not be considered for the surgery. We are another step closer to her healing.

I pray that every one of you are blessed abundantly.

There are a lot of people praying and pulling for Debra and you. Unfortunately words often fail to convey heart felt feelings and wishes. Just know that there are a lot of people that care.

That is great news....glad she got that step out of the way....

[Gray Wolf]

Well said crash.

Kevin, that's just the start of the good news!

klkak,
i wanted to share with you that my mother had an identical tumor to that which your wife has about five years ago. we live in spokane, washington, and thankfully one of the best neurosurgeons in the country flew in from seattle to remove the tumor. she also had to have the cranial removal. her tumor was about the size of a golf ball, and choked off the blood supply to the sense of smell region, permanently killing it. my mother did have some after effects that she is still dealing with (also heart-related), so it forced her into an early retirement.

we're not a religious family in the slightest, but that doesn't mean that we can't wish you well. our family went through what you're going through, and it was tough.. but we stuck together and everything's fine now. however you achieve your positive outlook (religion, support groups, fluffy bunny slippers), achieve it. it makes all the difference in the world. my mother is the single-most upbeat and permanently optimistic person i know and always sees the best in everyone, and i'm confident that it's her love of life that's helped her recover as well as she has. i know from personal experience that what you're going through is the scariest thing that you wouldn't ever dare to imagine, but remember this: others have beaten far worse, and you will beat this. not "can", but "will".

i won't say "good luck", because you won't need it. i will wish your wife a speedy recovery, though. at least hospital food has gotten better in the last few years!

That is very generous of you. I'm afraid we'll have to take a rain check. Thank you anyway.

Sorry I have been out of touch recently klkak. You, Debra and the rest of the family are in my prayers. My family up there, over in Okinawa and here in the midwest are all praying for you and the circle keeps growing. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Stay strong brother.

My Brother I am glad you finely got the news. It was good talking to you also. Take care of yourself. Call me when you get home.

even though i am new here, there is a true story i know of to perhaps help you in dealing with your problem.

the famous poker player Doyle Brunson had some kind of cancer (skin maybe) which was too serious to operate on, and doctors gave him only about a month left to live. after praying every day, when he went to the get a surgery to basically cut the cancer's pathway to his head (which would leave him completely paralyzed), right before the surgery, another scan revealed that all his tumors were gone and he was perfectly fine.

so just keep hope alive and sometimes these things work themselves out

Thank you for that encouragement. My wife is a part of me so I can never give up hope.

Here is the latest,

Debra has gotten the last two test done. A CT-scan of her eyes and some type of vision test. She delivered the results from all the tests to the surgeons office today. She says she is going to schedule the surgery for the middle of October. She has made out a new will and testament and a living will so that my daughter and I don't have to make that decision if necessary.

Thank all of you again so much for interceding for us.
