Below are some questions we asked the physician's assistant today and the answers he gave us.
What are the odds that the CT scan and MRI are wrong?
One in a million. That gives us a chance…somebody’s got to win the lottery.
Where is the tumor located?
In the front midline of the brain.
What does that part of the brain control?
Cognitive ability—the ability to think clearly
What is the likelihood of seizures?
Minimal, but they are possible
This blog is intended to let all of Mike's friends and family know the history of his brain tumor as well as provide updates as they become available.

Diane,
Although I don't think we've met, I have the greatest respect for Mike. Since learning of his illness, he has been in our prayers. IF I can do anything...meals, visits, babysitting, or whatever, please let me know. The Cavalier family sends their love and so do I. Betsy Kinsella
Diane, We are lifting you, Eva, Savannah and especially Mike up to the Lord in prayer each day.
We will keep checking your Blog.
We know Our God has a plan here, we just don't know His plan yet.
We will trust Him and pray for increased faith for you all during these days.
In His Love,
Charlie Marra, Elder at Faith Pres.
Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and praying for you all. Please let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do to help (babysit, clean, cook -you know I love to cook, etc).
Much Love!
Shelley
If you need me, just call. I'm thinking of and praying for you all.
