I’ve been distracted and not up to creating blog posts. You’ll understand in a minute.
The doctor sent me to have a CT scan because of what *appeared* to be a TIA.
The technician didn’t come out of the booth right away. Another lady came and helped me up, and asked me to please sit in the waiting room for a few minutes. She said it was in case I had a reaction to the contrast dye, which didn’t make any sense. If I had had a reaction, it would have been right away.
A few minutes later, the technician came out with tears in her eyes.
Apparently, she found a 4.5 cm tumor in my brain.
A week later, I had an MRI. The tumor is about the size and shape of a chicken egg. It does NOT seem to be cancerous. However, the surgeon wants it out of my head as soon as possible. There’s no such thing as a completely safe brain tumor.
I will be in the hospital for about a week and a half, and the first few days of that will be in a special ICU, with no visitors. My brain surgery will be the first week of June.

I will be praying for you, if that’s okay.

Last year at this time, my husband found out he had a large cancerous tumor in his kidney and they removed both a week later. He is doing just fine. I am sending prayers out your way. Be strong and take care girl.
Love, Jennifer

Oh wow. That’s so much to process. I hope everything is okay and you will be in our thoughts! (HUGS)
