At present, brain tumors are treated by surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy used either individually or in combination. Only 31 percent of males and 30 percent of females survive five years following the diagnosis of a primary or malignant brain tumor.

Because brain tumors are located at the control center for thought, emotion and movement, their effects on an individual’s physical and cognitive abilities can be devastating. We wont know until Ms. Porter wakes up to know if there will be any damage to her brain. Whether partial or permanent. Test will be run on the Tumor to identify it further. Until then we wont know anything.

Alice: Its ringing. Tina, its Alice. Hey Alice I just left you a message. Tina stop I need to tell you something. Bette is, were all here at the. Alice broke down crying. Dana took the phone from her.

Dana: Tina listen. Bette is in the hospital. Where are you now?

Tina: Dana what do you mean shes in the hospital? She was home when I left last night. What happened?

Dana: Tina she was rushed here by ambulance bleeding badly from her ears and nose. They thought she had been beaten at first but that was not the case. Now where are you and how soon can you get here. We need you. Kit needs you. She has to sign consents forms for Bette to have emergency surgery. Tina its not good.

*Tina*

Dana I’m on my way. Ill be there soon. Please call me back if anything changes. Oh my God. What happened to Bette? Bleeding from her ears and nose. She was fine when I left. I know we were both completely emotional, crying, screaming and drained when I left, but she wasnt hurt. Was she? I slapped her but thats all. I cant believe this is happening. First we lose our baby boy. Then we lose our marriage, I lose Bette to the arms of another woman. Turning the car around heading to the hospital as fast as she could without killing someone or herself. Now I may lose Bette completely if she dies. I cant lose her. Not my Bette. Shes got to be OK. Please God, dont let anything happen to her.
