> ' lesion' material to biopsy. The MRI's showed a 4 lesion s deep in her brain and
> many in her spinal column. We have not yet received
> a full prognosis,
> yet we do know she has brain cancer that is rapidly progressing. It is a primary

> Today the oncologist told us that there is little help for her survival
