They immediately thought head issue so they checked him out..scan and whatnot to find that he had a walnut sized tumor in the MIDDLE of his brain!!!!! They had to relieve the pressure and did a biopsy on the tumor, turns out it's cancerous but they don't know what kind AND on top of that it's in a very dangerous part of the brain....i don't know anything else yet.

If it's only walnut sized, it should be able to be treated, but I don't really know since I'm not a doctor. Edited by The_Fry_Cook_of_Doom, Aug 15 2009, 02:43 PM.

Or make a "good luck & get well" cake. I'm not superstitious, but hey, you never know. To the extent of the trivial medical knowledge I have, he's prolly going to go through surgery at least, so there will be an operation. To remove it. So I hope it goes very well. Which is all I can do. Hope. :s Edited by Incog, Aug 15 2009, 02:51 PM.

And I dont think they do surgery on the middle of the brain, but idk much about treatment these days. I hope he lives past this and that you and your brother are free from anymore tragedies in your lives p.s. new nanotechnology has invented these nanocell things that can find and eliminate cancer cells :)

I had two teeth removed once (not wisdom, but I have to get those taken out too ) and I woke up and there was this annoying thingy on my finge and i wanted to take it off but i didnt. D: And then this chick came in and dragged me out of the bed and into a wheelchair and like frickin raced me outside to the car like as fast as possible and i was like wtf bitch i'm gonna puke. And then i get to the car and i'm omg i'm like pukin here bitch so I like puke all the way home (like 30 mins). And then i get home and i'm like holy shit.

I dont really want to read this, not really because I dont care but more because I dont like reading sad stories. But yes before I get accused of something like trying to cause an argument I will leave you to your "sharing" Edited by Adams, Aug 15 2009, 11:16 PM.
