Brain Tumors Are Expensive

     Think of the worst headache you have ever had.  The one where light and sound hurt.  You felt sick to your stomach from the pain.  Now think about having that headache every day for the rest of your life.  Every. Single. Day

     I am 43 and a mother of 4 and grandmother of 2.  I was diagnoised with a meningioma tumor on Nov. 29th 2012 and another one the following July.  The diagonstic testing and monitering testing has created a financial strain on my family and I. 

     Recent scans have shown significant growth in both tumors.  One by 50% and the other by 100%.  

     My eyesight has been fading as well.  I desperately need new glasses.  

     The tumors are inoperable and create havoc in my life.  I have severe dizziness, dibilitating headaches, nausea, repeated vomiting, seizures, memory loss and balance problems.  I get tired easily and some days are so bad I can't get out of bed. 

     I've had 8 MRI's done at $2500 each.  Our insurance didn't cover 5 1/2 of them. 

      Between the bills for the diagnostic places, many different doctors and specialists I feel like I'm being crushed to death.   

Donations will go to doctor bills, medicine, glasses, upcoming procedures, tests and scans.

If I get more donations then the amount of the medical bills then the donations will go to paying off other bills.  Anything after that would 1) Be a fringing miracle.  2) I would buy a Tardis coffin.  3) Since we are dreaming, buy my wonderful husband his 2015 Mustang.  Heck while we're at it why not a pony too.  OK, no pony.

Thank you for whatever you can do.
