fainting

Before the tumor. Here goes.

There are subtle things that happened before the discovery of the first tumor in October 2000 that should have tipped us off that something was wrong. About two years prior things started to occur. I would come home from work and in the normal conversation of the day, that a husband and wife would have, Marie would mention-oh yeah, I fainted in the shower today. Of course I would question what do you mean that you fainted. She would explain how she blacked out for a moment and sometimes how she would also throw up.

I believe now that she was having seizures caused by the tumor. The medicals said that the original tumor was growing for 5 to 10 years. At the time we talked about the fainting spells and decided that she was taking showers that were too hot or she ate something bad. I know I mentioned this in an earlier post but it still bothers me. Why didn't I recognize this as a much more serious issue.
