Good morning all. As many of you may have heard i have been diagnosed with a neuroblastoma by an oncologist at Beth Israel. They want me to have surgery to remove the tumor and my adrenal gland. I am taking a trip down to phillie today to get a second opinion from the specialists at CHoP.
My hospital tour continues. I have wrapped up a the North Jersey tour. For those who are counting this will be hospital #5 on the tour. Watch out i may be making a stop at a local hospital near you.
I saw the postings on facebook by people with a connection to Nutley (my brother, sisters, and I all graduated from Nutley High). My mother was diagnosed many years ago with a brain tumor. The following organizations were tremendously helpful in providing information to my family.
ReplyDeleteAmerican Brain Tumor Association - http://www.abta.org/
The ABTA is an excellent resource. Aside from the information on its web site, you can order printed materials about brains tumors, treatment, care giving, etc. at
https://secure2.convio.net/abta/site/SPageServer?pagename=publicationsrequest.
National Brain Tumor Society - www.braintumor.org
Another great resource. Among other information, has online publications that can be downloaded, including brain tumor information.

Hope this helps. I will pray for little John.
