IN 2010, JUNE 10,I HAD A SOFTBALL SIZE TUMOR REMOVED FROM MY HEAD.I HAD BEEN HAVING HEADACHES FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND MY DOCTOR TOLD ME I NEEDED A CAT SCAN. THEY STOPPED ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROCEDURE AND SENT ME BACK TO MY DOCTOR. HE TOLD ME I NEEDED EMERGENCY SURGERY! I HAD NO INSURANCE AND LOW AND BEHOLD, METHODIST HOSPITAL OFFERED TO OPERATE ON ME IN DALLAS,TX!!! I HAD A TUMOR THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL, AND MY DOCTOR SHOWED IT TO ME THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO GET A CHECKUP. GOD IS GOOD, METHODIST HOSPITAL PUT ME ON A PLAN. THEY TOOK ALL OF MY BILLS AND PAID FOR THEM, THE DOCTORS WERE FANTASTIC, AND COULD NOT BE FEELING ANY BETTER ! I GIVE EACH YEAR TO THE BRAIN TUMOR SOCIETY AND WILL FOREVER!! MY HOPE IS THAT ALL PEOPLE WIIL CONTRIBUTE TO THIS SOCIETY. GOD BLESS ALL PEOPLE THAT HAVE TUMORS! YOU ARE NEVER ALONE, HE IS THERE!!!
