In the late 1980′s into the 90′s, I had suffered from horrible headaches, that always penetrated into my eyes. It wasn’t until 1994, however, when my menses had completely stopped for 2 yrs. My PCP finally decided to get blood work to test my Prolactin level & found it was way off. Then he decided to order an cranial MRI & found a tumor on my pituitary gland. Then a month later, a split my left tibea, which needed surgery to screw it back together. Tumor treatment halted.
Then in 10/99 & again in 1/2000, I suffered from stroke-like symptoms. My PCP found scarring on the myelin sheath, which are signs of MS, & noted the tumor hadn’t changed in size. I saw a neuro who ran more tests on me, as well as took a series of MRI’s.
On Palm Sunday, 2000, after suffering horrible pain in my eyes, my husband laid his hands on my head & prayed for me. I felt Ruach HaKodesh moving thru my head, it felt like tingly heat, & then I slept. The next day, I had another, & my FINAL, appt w/the neuro dr & he took another cranial MRI. Yeshuah HEALED me! The tumor was & still IS GONE! Praise YHWH our PROVIDER!
There are many believers in Messiah Yeshuah & even when you’ve prayed all you can pray & still don’t see that healing, just know that YHWH has compassion on whom HE has compassion & has mercy on whom HE has mercy. His reasons are way past what we can ever know! BUT thank & praise Elohim that those who were suffering are now resting & the next time they open their eyes will be at the time of our Judgment, they’ll see Messiah Yeshuah face to face! Eternal life isn’t in this life; it’s after the Judgment!
In April 2008, I was diagnosed w/Multiple Sclerosis. I praise YHWH that He’s using me in my sickness to minister to others who are suffering. May our Heavenly Almighty Abba Father bless each & everyone of you!
In Christ’s Love & Service, Danielle J.

My son who’s 28 had a car accident march 2009, and they found a mass on brain. they did a brain biopsy and found a grade 3 astrocrytoma malignant tumor in the front left lobe. It can not be removed because of the size and location. he worked for a pest control company and was around chemicals for a while. He has been told he has about 3 years with treatment.

My father had glioma-blastoma-multi-form in 1988, he was diagnosed via brain biopsy, in February and passed away in June. My father worked in a tower that was on a paper-mill property, I always wondered if this was a factor.
My husband also had a brain tumor, miningioma, (much kinder brain tumor), and my husband worked at this paper mill for a while. Strange huh? My husband had surgery to remove this brain tumor and followed up with radiation. He is doing well.

I had a nasty pain down the back of my neck and in between my shoulder blades. I began to lose periphial vision, saw auras glowing around everything, and could not see proper images in my magnifying mirror. The top of my scalp hurt. I told my opthamalogist and Doctor about these things.They did not seem concerned. After a year of suffering, my vision was so bad that images were bouncing and I had determined not to leave the opthamologists office until he found out what was wrong. He gave me a field of vision test and determined I had a growth in my head. An MRI showed a rather large tumor on the pituitary gland and it was pressing on the optic nerve. Surgery through the nostril was successful so far,tumor benign, but am having pituitary problems. If you have these symptoms, be persistent with your health care workers.. You have to be your own advocate.

I did not have a brain tumor but was misdiagnosed for 7 years as having Parkinson’s disease. A top Parkinson I am now 78 year old.
doctor in New York assured me I did not have this problem. After seeing a neurologist for the 8th time
she suspected I had Hydrocephalus. I had surgery for it
2 1/2 years ago when a shunt was put into my head. This is a condition that is frequently
missed by all sorts of so called experts. I hope this will change.

My father died in 1971 from a malignant brain tumor at the age of 44. He was a WWII/Korea/Vietnam vet (multiple tours), and over the years I’ve wondered if exposure to agent Orange or other factors could have been primary contributors to his condition.

I lost my loving daughter-in -law to a malignant brain tumor @ age 27. She worked in a plastic mfg. job & often wondered if these chemicals could have caused it. What do you think? they attemted to operate, but the cancer already metabolized & clung to her caradid artery. she was taken off her machines 2 days later & left my son to raise an 8 mo. old baby , It was a pituitory gland tumor. H er son is now 15 & doing quite well in H.S.

In Jan.2000 My husband suffered a brain tumor , had surgery,brain surgery only being able to remove only a portion of it , he then passed away in March of 2000. We have no idea how long he had it, but for several months leading up to the diagnoses, he was having memory problems & confusion.It apeared to come on rather quickley. A few months before the diagnosis, he had been filling a motor home with propane when a large cloud of vapor blew back in his face. He imediately became nauseated with dificulty breathing. He was checked out & was told that the vapor from the propane was not harmfull, eventhough one of the interns told how the propane vapor was used in some places to kill weeds. So my family & I have always felt that the propane had something to do with it. This is something we will never know. Shirley
