I don't know how to start this one, so let's just jump in. This is another randomly published

podcast episode. You'll notice Caitlin's not here, no intro music, because I'm spending most

of my time at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston right now, and I'm not home that often.

And so I just have to jump in and do these

quick updates because I do want to keep you guys posted. I love you guys. I really, really

appreciate every single one of you who's ever hung out with me on this podcast. And it is a

priority for me to keep you guys in the loop. So we did, we got some results,

not the full scope of results for this brain tumor that my 19 year old daughter, Lane, has.

If you are new, if you didn't hear my previous episode, a couple of weeks ago,

Lane had been having dizziness and headache symptoms. And they were mild for a while,

and then they got more serious. And we had her all set up to go to a migraine clinic. And it's in

Temple and it's really, really good. And evidently this doctor can work wonders with migraines.

So that was the plan. And just one quick thing, we just needed to get a CT scan out of the way,

you know, rule out anything. Obviously, it wouldn't be that. I literally said

to a friend of mine on the phone, words I wish I could take back because I feel like I jinxed us.

I said, obviously, we know 99.99% chance the CT scan will be nothing, but we just have to bang it out, you know, to rule out anything crazy.

Like, you know, as if a 19-year-old thriving sophomore in college, you know, would have anything show up on a brain CT scan.

Come on.

The doctor called us, the radiologist called us just like an hour and a half.

Afterwards, he actually, even though Lane's an adult, he found my husband's number and called him because he couldn't get in touch with Lane and said she needs to go to an ER right now.

They saw a mass and then the mass was blocking drainage.

So there was a lot of fluid buildup.
