Brain Cancer Confirmed
Posted by stephanie on March 7th, 2008
My mom picked me up and we had lab work done and then met with Helena. The head ct showed I had cancer in the frontal lobe of my brain. The spot is small about 5mm in size. They believe it can be managed quite successfully with a radiation procedure called Cyberknife. I called John and he left work and came to the center to meet the doctor at 12:30 today. We will use next week preparing for the procedure and it will be completed the week of the 17th: Tues or Thurs. Once again we find ourselves with a gift from God. After the radiation oncologist reviewed all the results. He did not believe the symptoms I was experiencing were related to the brain tumor the size of the tumor was too small. He looked over my labs and noted my ammonia level and liver function tests were all elevated. This could produce all the sign & symptoms I am currently having.

I will always keep you in my prayers as well as your family. Please keep me posted. Ahlivia has a hearing test on 3-11, Tiffany sees Dr Marcincuk on 3-13, and then Ahlivia has her 4 month check-up with the pedi doc on 3-14. I can hardly believe that it has already been 4 months!!!
