Brain Surgery

Post by TEVA » Mon Sep 27, 2010 4:34 am

This past month has been busy time for us. My mother had brain surgery to put a shunt in her brain. She has 3 cm tumor in her brain that they cant remove cause where its located in the middle of brain.
She is doing much better after the surgery.
Hubby is having surgery on his eyes to remove caracts in month.
His cancer is the same just in his lungs. He has pet scan on the 30 th to see how the cancer is doing.
Other than that we are doing well.

Cancer is Satans bitch child it aways takes and never gives. i hope the surgery on your hubby goes well, and i'm glad the surgery on your mother went well although i'd be happier if they removed all of the cancer/tumor......

Haven't been many easy times for you in the past few years, have there? :(


Good luck with the coming surgery... stay strong!

Good luck in all of this, Teva...

I hold out hope life will get better, but wisdom and understanding of certain human natures dictates otherwise...lol
