Brian Patrick Normile hasn't added a story.
As many of you know I was diagnosed with a brain tumor back in October of 2012. I had a Craniotomy to remove that tumor and things were looking well. Several months after the surgery I started Chemotherapy and Radiation Treatments. The first MRI after Radiation Therapy showed no signs of recurrernt or residual tumor. So I stayed the course and from August until December I finished the 5 rounds of Chemotherapy at the advice of the doctors.
To our surprise in the first MRI after all Chemotherapy was completed they found recurrent tumor in my right frontal lobe. This was not the news we were expecting but I smiled and said well lets get this thing out and keep moving forward. I have had two MRI's since my second Craniotomy and they are not showing enough evidence for my Neurosurgeon, Neuro-Oncologist or Oncologist to recommend any treatment plans at this time but to take a watch approach, but my Neuro-Oncologist has recommended that I travel to MD Anderson Hospital in Houston to get an opinion from a Neuro-Oncologist there as the facility is one of the best in the country for treating cancer.
Unfortunately due to all the expenses that I have already endured through this journey I was forced to file for Bankruptcy an no longer have the available credit to front this trip. So I am seeking any donations to assist me in getting down to Houston for an opinion.
Any help you can give would be appreciated as it has been since this all started. I would not still be here today had it not been for all of you and your support!
