Dr. Edwards operated on my brain tumor in April of 1984. Many doctors wouldn't even consider it as ithe tumor was so far progressed. I had a Grade 4 Astrocytoma and the surgery was not considered a life saving procedure. The goal was to relieve my headaches so I could die comfortably in my own home. I was 15 then, I am now 41, married for 10 happy years and just bought my first home. Dr. Mike as we called him then was and is the best. I owe my life to him. Thank you Dr. Edwards and I'm so happy for you Shandi.
