This is not the kind of e-mail message I wanted to write nor is it what you’ve wanted to receive. It is important that we all maintain faith and seek the Lord’s blessings for Bri.
Dec. 22, 2009, Bri was told that all tests and scans showed she was cancer-free.
Over the past month, she’s been having severe migraine headaches. Extensive testing over the past 3 weeks showed that her physical condition was excellent. Dr.s couldn’t understand why she was having headaches. As she thought about the possible causes, she concluded the headaches might be a reaction to a Milk Thistle supplement that she’d been taking since early Jan. She stopped the supplement about 10 days ago. The migraine headaches have gone, but “normal” headaches have persisted.
Yesterday, Bri spoke with Mom and thought she had identified the cause of the headaches as perhaps being pinched nerves in her neck because they seemed to come and go as she moved her head at various angles/positions.
Yesterday evening, Bri’s dr. performed an MRI on her head, “just to be safe.”
Bri called (2:30 p.m., AZ time) and told Mom the MRI revealed 5 tumors on her brain. We don’t know about their size, location or characteristics. There will be additional follow-up consultation and analysis this evening after her kids return home from school and others can help with them at home. She was told the dr. would begin radiation treatment immediately. Eric is currently in AZ for a bicycle race. He’s emotionally distraught that he’s not with her. She told him to stay in AZ until she finds out more information regarding her condition.
Please don’t call or e-mail Bri until she or we let you know she’s up to communicating. At this point she’s still understandably numb from the shock of this finding.
We request your fervent prayers, fasting and participation in temple worship as another miracle is needed.
We’ll stay in touch.
Dad
