Just happened to notice you on here just as I was about to log off for the night. Haven't swung by your thread b4 but it aint far 4 me since I am in piecing-ville too.
What caught my attn was your mention of prayers for the "shadow" on your brain. I know this sitch all to well unfortunately as my darling had a tumor diagnosis at her brainstem just as we were about tobe M'd about 7 yrs ago. So I know (from the spouses spot) what that is like.
