Hi, my name is Brooke. I have recently been diagnosed with olfactory neuroblastoma. The tumor has grown to the point of eroding multiple places of my skull and has reached my brain. Along with pressing on my right eye, it is also pressing on the top palate and teeth.

Their plan is to do chemo over the next 9 weeks, then repeat the MRI to see if the cancer has shrunk enough to protect my brain and save my right eye during surgery. If the tumor has shrunk enough, they will proceed with surgery in January to remove all they can. After the recovery time, I will have radiation twice a day for 6 weeks.

They think with the combination of chemo and radiation, I will be out of work for 6 months at the least. Any help would be really appreciated.
