Hello, my name is Andy, Samantha's husband. A couple of weeks ago, after a late-night trip to Enloe Hospital due to multiple seizures, Samantha was diagnosed with a large glioma, a tumor located in the left side of her brain. We were immediately referred to U.C. San Francisco. The doctor decided that surgery sooner than later was necessary. Last week we went for more testing and pre-op work, and on Tuesday, the doctor performed a 6-hour surgery to remove the tumor. She is now resting comfortably at home, and will soon start physical therapy. Please keep Samantha in your thoughts and prayers during the recovery process.

We are hoping for some help with our very large unexpected medical bills and travel expenses during our UC San Francisco visit.
