Guest guest Posted August 1, 2000 Report Share Posted August 1, 2000 Good Luck Mickey. It is so easy for them to say Don't be Scared, but if it was them they would be also. My Brother had a tumor the size of a softball in his head he was in surgery 21 hours. Everything came out fine and tumor was benign that was back in 92. Medical practice and surgery has improved since then. The Dr said the tumor started from 2 cells that did not split and kept growing....odd isn't it...I will keep you in my Prayers Mickey.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2000 Report Share Posted August 2, 2000 Good luck Micky! I know I would be terrified! Being scared is NORMAL. Is there anyone who can let us know how you are doing?

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2000 Report Share Posted August 4, 2000 Well if they've done it in Houston, it's prolly pretty good. I don't know about other places, but since I'm from Texas, I try to keep abreast of stuff in Dallas and Houston and such. alley/ ICQ 12631861 alleypat@... http://www.flash.net/~alleypat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
