My Journey to halt/end my psoriasis

[Sheila]

Talked to Randy yesterday for the first time, in person. During our conversation he let me know that the tumor has consumed 40% of his brain. Doctors have told him that there is hope he will only lose 15% of his brain at the end of this on the optimistic side. On the other side of the coin though, he could also lose between 30-40% of his brain as well. I am simply broken hearted. I sit dreading the outcomes of what he told me will be the first of 3 surgeries beginning on Monday. The first one will be exploratory where they will expose 30% of his brain and take tissue, bone and brain matter samples to see what the cause of the tumor is and if it has spread to other areas of his head. Subsequent surgeries, which will follow quickly thereafter, will include the treatment of this tumor. 

Seems I am destined to lose my brother to death or lose him (his personality) to these surgeries. Doctors are predicting that he will lose motor function, but the question remains, to what degree. I can't help but grieve. Tears are hard to hold back. But I have to be there for his family and be strong. I can't have them worrying about me when they need me most. God bless him and my God look over him so that he may have the best outcome possible. Amen.
