-- Dearest Alexandra, I am so very sorry to learn of your daughters concerns. I will not get too much into it though as we must focus on the fact that it is a tumor that the nature of it will prove to be nothing to further worry about.I will pray for you both that at it's very worst it IS be benign. As for you, take care of yourself and dont run yourself down as you need to be as healthy as you can be to get thru this. The stress is bad enough. Lean on your husband and pray and surround yourselves in love and positive thoughts. You are in my prayers. Loretta
