Wanted to post these links in case anyone is able to help my girlfriend. She is 27, works for LSU in financial aid. She had been having headaches and thought it was from working overnight at a hospital. The headaches didn't go away when she began her new job at LSU and then double vision started. First doctor she went to told her she was just paranoid. But she wasn't.
It turns out she has plasmacytoma, a cancerous plasma cell tumor right beneath her brain. So far it hasn't spread, and she's had a couple of days of radiation. Hopefully 6 weeks of radiation will get rid of it, and then she'll go for scans and tests every few months.
We really appreciate any help that anyone can give.
Her sister designed some T-shirts:

We are really trying to reach the goal amount of shirts.
Her friend also set up a donation site:

If you are able to help in either way, it means a lot. If not, then prayers are always welcome. We need all the prayers we can get.
Thank you.

Min praying for her and will look at links on PC tomorrow. If anyone in your group plays any kind of softball you should consider a tournament. We've consistently netted 12-15K on weekend tourneys

Good luck, prayers sent. If you don't reach your goal then get with me, we'll get something done for you that won't require a minimum to print.

Sorry to hear that man. Hope she wins.

We all think we have problems day to day and then we hear about things like this and it makes us realize our "problems" are trivial.

Thank you so much.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has prayed and donated. It will really help us. This was definitely not the summer we planned on.
The donation site has a picture of Haley and her dad at her sister's wedding in March. Everything was fine then. And then a few months later we get this horrible news.
She's staying positive and determined to win the fight.
We really appreciate everyone on TD..here and the OT lounge, for the help.
