Nancy Kane My name is Nancy kane and in 1966 my husband was operated for a brain tumor. He was in the Navy in Vietnam at the time and had been suffering with bad headaches. At first in May of 66 the doctors put it down to ulcer, sinus and various other things, we had only been married since March of that year. He then had a eeg a...s they never had anthing else It was dicovered he had a tumor the size of a orange. They disovered it was a Melanoma and a secondary as they said Melanoma never start in the Brain. They gave him three months to live. He had six weeks of radiation as there was never chemo at the time. He is still alive today. I think a lot of his was positive thinking as he never accepted he was going to die. We went on to have three boys and we know have seven grandchildren, we were told we would never had children.The morale of this story is never give up and listen to your body.
