As many of you know, Colleen has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.  The doctors are 99% sure that it is a Benign Meningioma.  She will be undergoing surgery to have it removed on December 13 at Cleveland Clinic Main Campus and we have declared this "Tumor Tuesday."  She will be at the hospital anywhere from 2-5 days and then recovering at home for 6-8 weeks.  
 
The majority of people who have gone through this have said after surgery all of their tumor-related symptoms disappear, it is just recovering from the actual surgery that is the most difficult.
 
So many people have offered to help and have asked what they can do so we started this page to communicate what is needed and how to help.  Help us provide love, care, and support to the family as Colleen recovers. Take some daily obligations off their plate so she can focus on getting better.
