My Moms Tumor

Hi All,

On September 19th my mother was aphasic, vomiting and exibiting stroke like symptoms, we admitted her to the hospital where she had a full blown grandmal seizure, and was diagnosed with a left frontal lobe brain tumor. They had to perform a craineotomy to biopsy it(due to its delicate location) and results were as follows: astrocytoma, low grade gleoma. We have been to Neuro Surgery and Neuro Oncology and both tell us that her tumor is inoperable due to the location and size, and we were told that she is not a candidate for radiation at this time. This all happened one week and 5 days prior to my wedding My mom is 52, I am 29 and I am completely overwhelmed. Is there any feedback from anyone ??? I would appreciate anything.

Thank You
Sue
