Theresa Darling is the loving wife of James Darling, daughter of Dennis & Chris Beaudoin, sister to Jason Beaudoin, Matthew Joy, and Kim Valdievieso. She has three beautiful daughters Alyssa Hebert, Jessica Darling, and Heather Darling. She is 44 years of age.
The last few weeks, Theresa had been experiencing tingling in her right leg with little to no interruption to daily living. Having had back surgery in 2011, she promptly made an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon in South Lake Texas. The surgeon was positive that the issue was from a spinal fusion, and placed her on steroids with the hopes that she would regain normal function and obtain a quick cure. Within 24 hours Theresa could not walk without the assistance of crutches. She returned to the office of her orthopedic and he stated that he believed the issue was not her back but possibly her nervous system, spine or brain (as she had visible signs of limb shaking in the last two days). She was rushed to Irving Texas for six
additional MRIs, and within two hours it was determined that a 3.25cm tumor was located in the left center portion of her brain that controls her motor skills (located in a very delicate hard to get to area of the brain). The news has been quite devastating, and overwhelming to say the least. The surgery was initially scheduled for Tuesday June 30th, but due to an increase in size over a period of days, and signs of swelling on the brain, her surgeon decided to move the surgery to the next morning. The tumor was removed , Thursday June 25th. Although the operation seems, for the most part "positive", it has been determined that is a quick growing "Glioma" with aggressive tendencies. This is brain cancer that can return. Theresa will undergo chemotherapy/radiation over the next few weeks with the hopes of totally eradicating the cancer.
Theresa has been strong, is healthy in all other respects, feels positive, and remains her witty, loving self in spite of all that in front of her.
Theresa's parents have moved to Texas to help with her rehab - family/friends/work/churches/strangers/acquaintences have surrounded her with as much love and support/prayers that anyone could ever hope for/need. We will not know the stage/outcome of the pathology report until June 30th. We are asking that you please continue to hold this sweet friend up in your prayers.
I know we all want to help this lovely lady, as she has helped all of us so much. Any amount donated during this time would help out so much and make a world of difference. Please share this page with your friends, family, anyone who can help during this difficult time. Theresa's children will be coming to stay during her chemotherapy sessions.
