Default Vance has a brain tumor

Vance is one of the Mountain boys in Ellijay and a frequent visitor on Psyco mountain. Last week he was starting to be delusional but that was not totally uncommon. This time it was for real and serious. Vance has a brain tumor about the size of a tennis ball in his right frontal lobe. He is in Kennestone hospital now and is scheduled for sugery tomorrow morning. This is not going to come out well no matter what. Doctors say at the very best he will probably loose his vision and speech and will be in speech therapy for some time. Several of the mountain boys visited him yesterday and he did not recognize a couple of them who have been his lifelong friends. My understanding is the tumor is cancerous but that information is 3rd hand twice removed.

PHO127 - sorry to hear this about your friend. It's amazing they didn't find something sooner. Let's hope for the best.

Unhappy I was hoping getting older would be easier

I was in shock when you told me Monday he had a tumor , now even worse news. We have seen a lot of brothers pass on these last few years. We are back on the front lines , ain't no one in front of us , only this time in the war of aging. Prayers out for Vance

Default Bad News....

Let Vance know we are thinkin' of him.

An old high school buddy of mine just went through this same thing. He had a softball size tumor in his head. It was removed and he is doing fine. Took a few operations because the dam thing had like tennacles all through his head. If he can get through this....Vance can get through also!

I just had an MRI done on my head. Doctors thought I might.....repeat might, have had a mini-stroke back during Psycho Vets Veterans Day celebration. Since I can only remember Friday night....hell, I wouldn't know. I don't think so but had it done anyway. Now I can prove to Deb that I don't have rocks in my head.......maybe.

Vance....GET WELL SOON!

My good buddy John, who I respect and honor
I was just a PFC in a room full of Generals doing what I was told......I still cant believe you sucked down that Capt. Morgan spiced rum thinking it was Crown. You gotta be one..................of my most favorite Lt's in the whole wide world.

Gimpy
I cant afford to get my ass whooped again......Tell the misses I humbly apologize for my assumption that she was from the north. I didn't think a southern gal had the gumption to insult her mate.....I was wrong and you deserved it.
