Dear fellow SDNer's,

I apologize for the slightly off-topic post, but two of my med-school classmates could use your vote in this Qtips contest. They are engaged and if you read their bio on the contest website, you see that one of them has a brain tumor that is causing him to go blind in one eye. Please place your vote for Melissa Bussey at http://www.qtips.com/getgorgeous.asp and please forward this along.

Much thanks!
Laurie

And I am sending the bill to someone for those 10 seconds of my life that I will never get back. . . Still I voted--at least it's better than American Idol. I guess.

Confused about what condition is giving him 'brain tumors'. It sounds like he may have an optic nerve meningioma, from NF? Or maybe they are mets.
In any case, I voted, best wishes for both of them!

As far as I know, he has been diagnosed with multiple meningiomas. From what Matt has told me, I don't think they are from NF, but I really don't know for sure.

Thanks to everyone for your support! It means a lot to me and to Melissa and Matt.

I don't know much about this, but I think he should probably be tested for NF-2, since multiple meningiomas strongly suggests that he may have it. Again though, this is not medical advice at all. Best wishes for him!

 

[ottwar]

Voted. Best of luck.

I asked him about this after I read your earlier post, and he has been tested and doesn't have NF. If you have any other thoughts, don't hesitate to post them.

Thanks!
