Some of you guys already are aware that my wife Jackie is dealing with some medical issues right now. She's a real trooper and handling things with her usual sense of humor and good attitude. Below is how she posted about it on her Facebook page and it explains things better than I can:
My name is Jackie, and I have a brain tumor (stated in a very flat, mono-tone voice like at a 12 step group).
But it is true. I saw the neurosurgeon today. Learned more about pituitary macroadenoma. That is what they are pretty sure I have. Pretty common and most often benign. Anyway, lots of lab work is to be done tomorrow along with a CT scan. Next week I see the ophthalmologist, ENT and Endocrinologist. After all of that the will decide if I need surgery to remove the tumor or radiation to reduce its size. Until then, that is all I know.
Just wanted to let you guys know so you will understand if I am a bit more absent than usual in the coming weeks.
Thanks
Mark B
