Cancer and brain tumors
March 5, 2008Cancer
I am sad to say that my second cousin just recently found out that he has cancer. This is not the first time that he has had i though, but when the doctors told us that he was cancer free the first time, it devoloped in his glands and is at the 4th stage. (that is the worst it could possibly get.) He has had numerous test done to find out if we can help it. When he went for his PET and MRI, they found a small brain tumor that might be the cause of the cancer. The cancer is a small lump on the right side of his neck, but it is growing rapidly. It is now so big that the doctors are afraid that it will cut off his main artery and he will pass out and never wake up. The original time the doctors estimated he had left to live was 6 months, but because it is growing it is minimized to 2 months. He was engaged and the wedding date was set for June 16th. The point of writting this entry was to tell everyone to keep an open mind, and believe that anything is possible. I'm getting through this because of the story of Criss' dad who had cancer also, and after the doctors gave him 2 weeks to live, he beat that, and lived for almost 2 years later.
