Earlier this week she underwent surgery to drain that fluid — relief that also revealed how much her body has been carrying in silence. This weekend she finally gets to go home. Today an MRI of the brain was done to see if her symptoms were from a stroke or if the cancer had spread… and with heavy hearts, we learned it is in fact cancer.”
