what is this blog about?

On June 18th 2010, Katrina went in to have an MRI done so the doctors could try to figure out why she was getting dizzy. What they found was a medulloblastoma (Brain Cancer) tumor between her fourth ventricle and cerebellum.

This blog is a journal for Her, and Her Husband, Scott, as they face this together.

The Plan of Attack

It has been s long day to say the very least. Long story short, I'll be driving down to the U a lot. K has an appointment Monday for an MRI of her spine to make sure that there are not any tumor "droplets" that have seeded down lower. Then Tuesday will be the pre-op. Friday they'll do a more advanced MRI so the doctor have a recent high quality MRI to look at when he goes in after the tumor later that day. 6-12 hours later they'll be done with the surgery. Then she'll most likely spend the weekend in a medically induced coma. After that we'll know if we need radiation. Also she may or may not have to do rehab. Seven to ten days after surgery, if all went well, she'll be able to come home. Then we'll have a long road to recovery ahead.
