I saw the doctor again on April 8th. The MRI's on my spine and cervical area came back clean, however the brain MRI did not. It showed that I had two tumors, one on the right side of my brain and one in the back. The biopsy showed that the lymph nodes in my neck were cancerous.
On April 9th, I had brain surgery via of the Gamma Knife method. To learn more about this type of brain surgery please visit: Gamma Knife Video The photo is me just before heading into surgery wearing only 1/2 the head gear I had to wear.
Tomorrow I will start my first round of Chemo, so wish me luck! I dread it.

Hello DariDari
on this issue I am fully agree with you. but If we want to combat against a dreadful disease like cancer we need a comprehensive knowledge of the cancer symptoms that can lead to the infliction of the disease which would help us to nullify
its consequences at the elementary level.
thank you

My name is Scott Blalock, my sister was Leslie. You spoke about getting the Miss Kawasaki "trophy" after Leslie was killed in a car accident years ago in your "70's" blog.
I took a picture of you that day. I still have it. My parents actually tried to find you months later. They wanted you to have the prizes, cash..a motorcycle and so on. That was 30 years ago today, April the 16th.
I'll see if I can use up a wish or two for you now ! Good luck ! Maybe thats why I've mysteriously run across you now....
This is a very informative blog – one of the best of its kind. I have gone through all the posts but I have some doubts about some thing. Updates of this blogs are rare. Since blog needs latest info, I humly request the blog master to update this blog when ever gets time.
All other aspects are really Great. I have some own blogs in this subject – on malignancy and malignant cancers or tumors - I shall link this blog from them. I think this blog needs that as this is very informative.
And about complete cure of Cancers and malignant tumors I was simply wondering why common men like me and you can work for this/in this direction? It may be scientist’s subject, but I think we too can provide good contribution to this subject... I could see an informative guide on malignant cancers and the cure of cancer etc from following URL
http://www.helpcure.com/cancer
This site will give you a free cancer- guide which details how to cure cancers by Holistic Treatment – Only useful treatment to cure cancer completely- and also on how to care cancer as well as much information about the cancers
Thanks lot

You are a beautiful woman, and I am so sorry for all you are going through. May God hold you in the palm of his hand through all this.
