It turns out that (in the absence of any hard evidence) my suspicion was correct. The woman's story is, to put it bluntly, a lie (and continues to grow into a larger and larger one in the American "news" media). She had no tumor (cancerous or otherwise) at all. She had a cyst. Which is why she would have had to wait a little while (behind all the people who had real brain tumors) in order to see a neurosurgeon. Chris -- Christopher D.
