My mother has a brain tumor

[Nienna]

This is a totally self serving post I guess... I feel kind of guilty about it, but I need to talk about it... so here it is.

My mother was diagnosed with frontal lobe brain tumor today. She goes into surgery tomorrow morning, I think just for a biopsy but maybe to remove it. It is the size of a golf ball. They don't know if it's cancer or not

She's my best friend. Seriously. Please pray, or light a candle or just send good thoughts.

Has anyone experienced this with a loved one who may be able to help me know what to expect?

[taysteewonderbunny]

No, I've not and I can't even imagine. I am keeping you two in my thoughts.

[Raev]

Yes, I suppose.

If I count *ME* as a loved one.

I've survived a tumor. Have a scar on the side of my head from it. It's part of why I have a mohawk, can't grow hair well on that side anyway heh.

The docs these days are damned good at what they do! I fully believe your mother will be fine.

About two years ago my aunt had a brain tumor removed via the nasal airway. After a few weeks we found out it wasnt cancer, thank god. It was a very scary ordeal though. Since then it has grown back a few times for some reason.. still it's beign.

A few months ago my dad was diagnosed with cancer.

My prayers are with you and your family.

[Oh_My_Goth]

Many prayers to your Mom & you sweetie

Thanks for reminding me that it isn't always a death sentence! I really appreciate your sharing.

My wishes are with you.

Do they say where it is in her frontal lobe (surface, middle?)

I don't feel like I have much good energy at the moment but what I have is yours and your mothers. I hope surgery goes well and she recovers fully. *Crosses fingers and toes*

*Hug* for good measure...

Leslie, if you need anything, let Jeff and I know. You and your Mom are in our thoughts and prayers.

[Guest greyhalo]

I am so sorry, dear. I know your family must be so stressed out right now. Hopefully things will go smoothly tomorrow.

[Homicidalheathen]

I had a tumor the size of a grapefruit removed once.

A lot of them are NOT cancerous

good thing they found it...

I will go light a candle for you right now...

i didn't really know what to say, so i decided to plagiarize the above, because it pretty much sums everything up for me...

well wishes for your Mum's recovery

As like everyone here, I'm keeping you and your Mom in my thoughts. I'm even upping the ante and saying a few prayers. Let us know if you need anything.

[Guest Megalicious]

If you need anything L, Please let me know. I hope that the surgery goes as well as it can, and that hopeful this will be the only surgery. My heart goes out to you and the rest of your family.
