Do you all mind throwing a few thoughts to our family/my uncle today?
My uncle went to the DR last week for some issues.. after some tests, he was told he had a brain tumor. They won't know if it's cancerous until it comes out. They are getting it out through his nose? (laparoscopic) so it's not as invasive as cutting through his head or anything (I honestly had no idea this could even be done until now) but he's nervous, obviously. He has lots of crappy healthy issues. We're hoping some are the root of the tumor and maybe afterwards, some will resolve.. but we have no way of knowing. His surgery started at 8, so if you could all throw a few thoughts his way I'd really really appreciate it!!

Thanks soooo much everyone! he's still in surgery. They ran into a bit of a problem (deviated septum?) so they had to correct/fix that before working on the tumor, which they are doing now
"operation was more complex because some spinal fluid was spitting out at them, so they wanted to further research to see behind the tumor. There was a spur in there they had to work around, too. But they got the tumor out, and believe it's benign"
he has to have a few follow ups, but everything went really well. Yay!
