September 19 2013 Discovery

Thursday, September 19:  Nanette was experiencing headaches and dizziness and admitted to St. Marks Hospital in Salt Lake.  She had an MRI and Cat scan and was diagnosed with a fast-growing brain tumor.  Surgery was scheduled for the next morning and lasted four hours.  The tumor was on the right side of her brain and was about the size of a tennis ball.  The surgeon removed as much of the tumor as possible; however, all of it could not be removed without significant damage to the brain.  The doctor said the operation went as well as expected; however, he was fairly certain his initial diagnosis was correct and pathology did confirm that is is glioblasphoma.  The prognosis is not good.  He explained facts and statistics and gave us a fairly dim view of the future.  Sergio fully informed Nanette of the operation and outcome and possible future.  From the very moment she heard the facts, she has chosen to believe and have faith in a different future and will trust her life to the Lord.
