My name is Mike Thiriot. Last year my sister Jaimee was diagnosed with a brain tumor. It was causing many problems for her (headaches, insomnia, vision problems, ect). In order to fight the tumor, she had to endure two rounds of medication. Each round lasted 60+ days, and the medication made her much sicker than the tumor had. The doctor hoped that the medication would shrink the tumor.
After months of medication, the tumor shrank enough that her doctor was satisfied. She was able to go off the medication and resume her life. This was less than a month ago.
Last week she was told that she has another tumor, an inoperable tumor. This tumor wasn't there a few months ago, so it must have grown quickly. She will see her doctors next week and learn what the best course of action will be to fight this.
This blog is created to document her fight. Hopefully there will be no problems with medical insurance and medical bills, and we are confident that she will beat this tumor.
