writes:My brother is undergoing surgery to remove a brain tumor today. He has been fighting brain cancer for 5 years. We lost our Dad at the end of September. He is only 11 months older than me, so when we were growing up, we were very close. If you know of any prayers or prayer circles, from your lips to God's ears! His nick-name growing up was "Monk" because he always climbed everything. Does anyone out there know of anyone going through this kind of surgery? Do you know of anyone beating brain cancer? Anyone have any stories of beating the odds? Reply to this Question

birdynumnums is verified as being by the original poster of the question Hi Everyone,
My thanks for all of your prayers, thoughts and wishes. Thank you Blue0316 for your touching story, your strength gave me hope and courage.
He is in recovery, moving all his arms and legs, and talking! Yay! They apparently got almost all of the tumor, and what they couldn't reach they can get with chemo. It looks like Christmas is coming!
God Bless,
Birdy

I can certainly feel your pain. In 1980 my Father was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor. He was given 6 months to live. He died just short of 6 weeks. I was the only person he knew before he passed away. It was his time as was your Father's. My Father and I were very close. He had told me 3 months before he was told he had cancer. He said he loved me and that he didn't want me to cry. I was the only one who didn't cry at the funeral. My Mom and Dad still loved one another and they were both remarried. I had to be strong for not only myself but for the others who needed me. Mom clung to me thru it all as did others. I am a stronger person for this. I am a caregiver.
On August 5 years ago I was diagnosed with a rare tumorous form of rare medullary thyroid cancer. I could feel something wasn't right and I had alerted the Doctor and asked quesitons. I found my own cancer. I believe that God gave me insight to realize something was out of place in my own body. Many tests were done and I was then hospitalized. I was told I might never speak again or I could possibly be on a feeding tube to eat or drink. God was with me and it wasn't my time to go.
Less than two hours after my ooperation I was in my room . The nurse walked in and said " Oh that is so beautiful." as she peared toward the tv screen. then turned toward me and gazed in amazement saying..."Oh my! That was you?" I just smiled and said "thank you". The song was Amazing Grace....as it said in the song....How sweet the sound. When I had awakened from the operation I awoke praying just as I was when I went under the anesthia. When I heard the sound of my own voice I knew I was going to be alright.
Have faith in God He will see you thru. No matter what happens God's will be done and my prayers for you are said. May God go with you and give you peace. May God keep you safe in the Palms of His Hands and lift your brother upward in Spirit. God watch over you both and help you to understand what is happening in your lives. Peace be unto you even until the end. Only God knows when that will be. Thank God for the treasure you have found in your brother and pray for strenght to endure.
Godspeed.
May The Angels Watch Over You.

 Hi there! I know this is a very scary time and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers today. I do know a young man that had a brain tumor about 2 1/2 years ago. He had surgery to have it removed and has been cancer free ever since. I dont know what kind of tumor it was or if it is anything similar to what your brother has. This young man was only about 15 when it happened. Also a friend of my boyfriends brother also had a son who had a brain tumor removed and is now fine. Again, it was a teenager. Kind of strange all these kids having brain cancer, isnt it. So there are two success stories out there that I know of. I do hope for all the best for you and your brother. G-d bless!
