discouraged

By the end of 2006 Marie had been through a major brain surgery and four stereo-tactic radiation treatments. That's five brain tumors in six years. The medicals continued to talk about the probability that it would not come back. On one hand they talked about this type of tumor being very rare. There is not much information to go on. But they also talked about how it was even rarer to recur. How could they talk about the probability of what it would do, if there was very little information about it.

From what I have read, it is a rare tumor. And being that it is listed as a benign tumor, I don't believe there is much, if any, research being done. I remember the first tumor, when the doctor said , that if she was going to get a brain tumor, then this is a good one. It didn't feel like a good one. Five tumors, with maybe no end in sight. Cognizant issues, personality changes, and disability. Our lives had changes forever. The changes weren't done yet. They were to continue.
