What a difference a day makes

One day you think you are deploying and 24 hours later you find you have been diagnosed with a 4 cm acoustic neuroma on the left side of your brain that is shifting to the right into your 4th ventricle and brainstem and you will not be deploying after all.

I will have to have surgery to have it removed. I am requesting your faith and prayers.

Thanks,

BJ

P.S. I am not dead nor am I dying so save the sympathy stuff (no flowers)!!!

Its crazy what some people will do to get out of a deployment... On the bright side, if you have to do chemo, at least you won't be losing alot of hair.
Actually, we are sorry to hear about this. I'm sure you would rather be deployed right now. Please keep us posted with what happens.
