"I was thinking today about our brain surgeon.  He's a nice, normal guy.  I can't imagine how it would be to wake up in the morning and go to work knowing that the life of a mother and the fate of her family hinges on the steadiness of his hands.  What a heavy burden that must be, one I'm happy to not have.  We have the utmost confidence in his abilities to do everything in his capacity to perform a successful operation.  I know that beyond that, it is in God's hands.  We feel at peace with whatever the outcome may be."


A friend of mine posted a link to her sister-in-law's blog on Facebook today. Her sister-in-law recently found out that she has a brain tumor and is anticipating surgery. Her husband posted an update and said the above in his post. There is nothing but truth in his comment about brain surgeons. What a burden to have, yet they take it on. I am so very grateful to my surgeon and his strong desire to be aggressive with the removal of my tumor. I will be celebrating my 6 year Tumorversary in 1 week from today. I have been extremely blessed to have had these 6 years so far, tumor free, and I look forward to another 6+ years!
