Good Morning

February 10, 2006

Hello Dear Martha,

What a beautiful and touching message. Your words brought tears to my eyes.

You so obviously have the heart of a hero. You have inspired me to believe that

there is nothing we cannot overcome if we have faith and the heart to pull out

all the stops to recover when we have challenges.

I am grateful to you for your words. You will forever be special in my heart for

taking the time to share your experience with us.

I care deeply what happens to all of you and when I read your message I felt so

uplifted. There is nothing as wonderful as feeling that something you have

created is making a difference for someone else. I am so happy to know that

LifeLift has made such a difference for you. Now you have inspired me and I am

sure every single person who has read your message.

Thank you for taking the time to write this. You truly made my day!

Be Healthy and take good care,

Rashelle

Good Morning

I am new to this group, but have been doing Life Lift for awhile now.

In December of 2004, I had 10.5 hours of emergency brain surgery and I

can not tell you how grateful I am for le and the Life Lift

program. If you don't know anything about brain surgery, let me give

you a brief synopsis. The very first that happens when you have *any*

kind of brain swelling is that you are given very large doses of

synthetic steroids. While I am thankful for the fact the steroids

works very quickly, it is doubly hard on my metabolism because I am

hypothyroid. About a week after I got home from the hospital, I

started back to do my Life Lift tapes and I truly believe the

exercises kept me from gaining a lot of that dreaded steroid weight.

My neurosurgeon was amazed by my complication free recovery and the

rate of my recovery. This program...this way of life has been a God

send for me.

What can changing the way you breathe do for you? Everything!

See why tens of thousands agree, Life Lift is the best!

Faith has an enourmous amount to do with facing any challenge...at

least for me. I will preface this by saying that I have recovered

fabulously and my long term prognosis is excellent, actually more than

excellent because I really am a walking miracle. And you might want to

sit down...

A synopsis: December 4th and culminating Dec 5th, I had the worst

headache of my life. For four years previous to the diagnosis, I had

migraines just about every day; if I did not have a severe headache

when I woke up, I would have one by the time I went to bed every

night. I went to four different neurologists and the last one told me

that people have migraines everyday and I needed to learn to deal with

the pain. But the headache I had that weekend was different; nothing I

did or took was able to lessen the intensity of the pain. Late in the

evening on December 5th, my best friend took me to the ER where I had

a CT Scan. December 5th, late in the evening, the ER Dr walks into my

room and say " We have a problem; you have a brain tumor " , just like

that, with the most flat monotone voice you can imagine. She also told

me that I was not going anywhere because I was probably getting ready

to have a seizure which would most likely kill me because my brain was

so swollen. Which definitely explained the horrible, severe headaches

I had been having for the last few years; hydrocephalus and early

brain herniation were two results of my brain tumor blocking an

outgoing CSF ventricle in my brain and both conditions can and did

cause severe headaches in my case. On Monday evening, after a day of

steroids and anti seizure meds, the second CT scan and an MRI revealed

that the tumor was the size of a tennis ball, directly behind my right

eye. Due to the large doses of steroids, the swelling in my brain had

dissipated enough for the tests to show exactly how big the thing was.

Two more days of steroids takes us to December 8th, when the brain

tumor was removed during 10.5 hours of brain surgery. The tumor was

very vascular but the Dr was able to get *ALL* of it. I did so well

after the surgery that he sent me home on Dec 12 2004; it was great

to come home from the hospital and sleep in own bed. Thanks to the

most amazing group of chosen family and friends, I have recovered in

record time. They have continually prayed for me and helped to heal me

and I do believe in that power of prayer and energy to change and

shift things and I know all the prayers and healing energy sent to me

has made all the difference in my speedy recovery. I feel incredibly

fortunate to be alive. My neurosurgeon and anyone else who sees these

tumors and surgeries everyday will tell you that I am a walking

miracle and that brain tumor should have killed me or made me a

vegetable or incapable of rational thought let alone performing well

at a very demanding, detail oriented job.

Dr Muradi is not sure why I was so " highly functioning " but I was and

no one ever suspected I had a brain tumor , let alone one that size.

And according to Muradi, I shoud not have been able to knit, sew,

visually recreate or use my brain in all the crafy ways I used it. So,

there you have it. As far as recurrance, there is a 1 to 3% chance of

recurrance at the original tumor site. I have had several post op

MRI's and there is no more brain tumor nor are there any other tumors

in there. I am tempted to say " they found nothing " but there is a

brain in there, and no more tumors. And I will never, ever have

another brain tumor that size because I will have follow up MRI's

every 18 months and then every three years and any other small tumors

would be treated with RFLP, radio waves and radiation zaps that take

20 minutes, are closed brain, and you go home the same afternoon. But

I am not going to have any more of those because it is just no

something I am interested in dealing with

So, my hair is growing on that side and if you don't know what you are

looking for, you really don't see the slight dent in the side of my

head. And my weight gain from the steroids was minimized due to twice

a day sessions of LL breaths. I read some of the messages for this

group today: what a wonderfully supportive, friendly place. I wish I

had found it sooner; I was looking at the website today, trying to

decide which tape to order next, I have I and II, I think. I have two

tapes. But anyway, I saw the link for this group and thought it would

be fun to be with like minded people. Happy to be here. A good night

to call.
