Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I don't have any infor regarding flights but Duke is in Durham ,NC which is about 30 minutes from me. DUke is the place to be if you have a brain tumor. They are world renown for their care of patients with brain tumors. I hope things will work out for her.

I am not sure how long ago she went out there and had 1 operation for a brain tumor or when the next is scheduled but I guess she used to work at Claims Management and quit to be a stay at home mom. Her husband is a first year teacher so they do not have much money. I guess the baby is 5 or 6 months old and this brain tumor was discovered that is giving her seizures. The doctors at Marshfield Clinic (she lives in that area of Wisconsin and they are considered one of the better places to go in the state) gave her 2 months to 2 years to live. They said the tumor which is 7 inches is unoperable. Somehow she knows someone out on the east coast and the doctors at Duke say they can remove at least 6 1/2 inches. I was wondering if anyone has the phone numbers to any of the services that offer reduced fee or free flights? I am trying to find things I have saved but will take awhile.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Thanks , The head of our provider division just found out about the problems when she talked to the ladies mother. We have taken up a collection to send to her. Glad to know Duke has a very good reputation.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Janet, could you please make sure this gets to the rest of the group. Will write more later with an explanation. I have been hospitalized until tonight, I'm doing better and have Good News, my Neurologist is making arrangements for me to get to KU to go thru the MDA clinic. He said he will send in a referral and they will contact me about an appt and I have transportation.
