Tuesday I spoke with my mom. Mom also complained of a Headache for a week. She just wasn't right and seemed confused. I told Sheelagh and she spoke with her and we both felt something was wrong. After calling her friends we got them to get her to the hospital. Her friends mentioned she seemed off at church.

We all figured it was a mini stroke. After a cat scan we were informed it was a tumor in her right frontal lobe. At about midnight I called my siblings. And we all headed to our respective airports around 3:30 am
I was able to get in by 9 and see her before they took her into surgery. The tumor was the size of a lemon.
Surgery went fine. The surgeon came out and told us that she would need chemo and radiation. The worst was hearing the average life span was only 12-18 months.
Thursday we spoke with the oncologist and her outlook seemed less terrible. But it depends on the patient and how the tumor reacts. It's a glioblastoma grade 4.
Still in absolute shock and just overwhelmed with what is happening and the love and support from everyone.
