On June 14, 2010, Cindy underwent a Craniotomy at the Barros Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona, to have a grade four Glioblastoma removed from the right temporal lobe of her brain. The team of surgeons at BNI were successful in removing most of the tumor leaving behind a small portion that remains in the part of the brain that controls her speech. Cindy is currently receiving chemotherapy seven days a week and radiation Monday through Friday. Cindy generously donated her tumor to research in hopes that someday a cure can be found. Cindy has also volunteered to be involved in a double-blind drug study at BNI where she receives a bi-weekly infusion to aid in the process in her healing.
This blog was created by the family members of Cindy Welch-Perry to inform friends and family of her progress on her path to recovery as she struggles against all odds to fight Brain Cancer.
Thanks for the update Laurie...you are all in our thoughts and prayers constantly! Hugs :)
