Subject: An update on my health

As you may have already heard, Monday I was diagnosed as having a localized brain tumor. The bad news is - I seem to have a brain tumor. The good news is that it seems to be oval in shape and only in one place. The Dr. said, 'if you have to have a brain tumor, this is the place to have it...'

The rumor that I was having surgery tomorrow is not true. Tomorrow at 8am I am going to see a surgeon. Then I will have more information about the next steps and some time tables.

How am I feeling?... Physically - I am okay, but don't feel 100%. I have some pressure inside my head that I am taking medicine for. I am a little tired.

Mentially - I am extreme scared. Since my info is scarce, I don't know much about what happens next. I want so much to just 'get it out' and go on, but I need to work through the process.

A SPECIAL THANKS - I have already received an amazing amount of support from people like you. My sincere thanks!

A REQUEST - My only request is that you think kind thoughts about me and be supportive. I plan to be a work as much as possible, so you will see me. If you have any information that you think might be helpful, please pass that along.

And Finally - I will try to keep you informed....Thank you for your understand and support!
