Just found out I’ve got a large brain tumor today. The tech let me see it on his screen and it’s not good. The neurosurgeon will be around to talk options in the am. Anyone have any experience with such. TIA



my aunt has a large brain tumor and has for at least a decade now. you're probably going to laugh, but she uses "energy healing" to keep it at bay. she does a technique called "reconnection." i can't say it works, but i can't say it doesn't work either. if you want, here's the originator talking about it...

I haven’t read through this thread, but my only advice is to get the frick out of Louisiana if you want real serious medical treatment. Go to Houston or any major city.

Depends on the illness, and the procedure needed, it may shock you to know there are a couple of life saving procedures that are only done by three physicians in the world, one is in New Orleans, and the other two are not in Texas.

Not only that, but with some brain tumors, there is exactly one standard of care no matter where you are. Temodar is no more effective in Houston than it is in any other place in the world.

They were able to get a second opinion from Duke, and they did the surgery.


Did Alan do the surgery.

I seriously think he is the best there.

A place like Houston seems to be a primary site so they may have stuff other s may not get for another 5 to 10 years.

That's not really how it works. It is a perception though.

It doesn’t have to be Houston, although personally I’d go to MD Andersen. For the diagnosis and treatment plan at least. Doesn’t matter who administers the medicine but I have had enough bad experiences with Nola doctors. MDA saved my moms life while Ochsner was pissing around with simple scheduling and letting her die of cancer.

I’m praying for healing in your body and peace for you, your family, and the doctors when it comes to deciding the next steps.

No matter what happens there is peace in knowing that the one God above can author an amazing story from lithe trials of life.

If you ever need personal prayer don’t hesitate to email me at eingram@laptc.com
