My dear sweet momma has developed a brain tumor--specifically a glioblastoma multiforme. This is an update of all of the details of her treatments and her recovery. Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and concern. My new favorite quote: "Humans are like tea bags, you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are."

Meet the Oncologist...

Well, we met him! We are going to start radiation as soon as possible and a low dose chemotheraphy that momma can take in a pill version. Today was not a good day for her as she had a pretty bad headache and is pretty confused. Keep us in your thoughts as we hope and pray for a better weekend. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!!

    Teri and your family are in my prayers and on my mind everyday. We don't always understand why things are happening but always remember that God is in control and He loves you. We're praying for a great weekend!

    Dec. 26, checking to see your progress. Hoping the chemo makes as much difference as it did for my sister whose breast cancer came back. She said pill form did not make her sick and actually made her feel better than she had in a year. She starts radiation in Jan. I'm praying for my sister and your mom. Both are wonderful people we need around us.

    Dear Tara and family,
    I want to uplift you all today! I pray for a peaceful and calm spirit to be upon your mom, dad, Neall, and yourself. My sister,Lori, was recently diagnosed with cancer, has just finished chemo, and is facing surgery and radiation in Jan. I have witnessed the amazing support of our wonderful community and know your family will feel the same strength of their prayers. Please give Teri a hug for me.
    Love to you all-Judy Hagler
