Red face A message from Christine...I'm fine

I thank each and every one of you for your concern and prayers. I have confidence that the gamma knife proceedure I went in for early Wednesday morning will work well. I feel very positive, happy, and healthy today. I cannot stress enough how important it is to undergo frequent brain MRIs after dealing with such an onset of brain metastases. I've been going every six months, and without it, I would have never been able to find this new tumor after four and a half years since my last. My tumor was caught very small (> 1 cm) and treatable, and both my doctors and I feel that I will be okay.

Thank you!

Hugs to all,
Christine
