Janet I hope this helps. I am sure there are other " oldies " who may

Good Luck and God Bless,

> At the place I work as a temp we were told about a young mother who

needs to go out to Duke University (I am not sure where that is) from

Wisconsin. I am not sure how long ago she went out there and had 1

operation for a brain tumor or when the next is scheduled but I guess

she used to work at Claims Management and quit to be a stay at home

mom. Her husband is a first year teacher so they do not have much

money. I guess the baby is 5 or 6 months old and this brain tumor

was discovered that is giving her seizures. The doctors at

Marshfield Clinic (she lives in that area of Wisconsin and they are

considered one of the better places to go in the state) gave her 2

months to 2 years to live. They said the tumor which is 7 inches is

unoperable.

>

> Somehow she knows someone out on the east coast and the doctors at

Duke say they can remove at least 6 1/2 inches.

>

> I was wondering if anyone has the phone numbers to any of the

services that offer reduced fee or free flights? I am trying to find

things I have saved but will take awhile.
