Several years ago, a friend had a brain tumor. It was the kind of (benign) tumor that is something like 95% survivable. He had surgery to remove it. It had grown around some nerves in the side of his head, so he lost hearing in one ear, and slight facial control on one side.

Today on Facebook he posted:

I am at Mayo today with my wife for testing and treatment, my brain tumor has grown aggressively over the past 4 years. I will have MRI's today and a gamma knife treatment tomorrow to try and stop the tumor's growth. I should be home Thursday afternoon with more frequent testing in the future.


Funny, I was just talking about his tumor the other day.

Last week we had a guy over to give us a quote on a new back door. He's done work for us before - really nice guy. He told us that his wife has brain cancer. It's been a year now, so she's doing really well.
