Our Story
Connie and Richard Milbert
We are Connie and Richard Milbert and we live in Weirton, WV (USA).
My husband Richard has a Front/Temporal Tumor. He has two children (ages 34 and 21) and one grandchild.
He has always been an active person. We walked and mountain biked up until the day he went in for the biopsy. He was a very healthy 63 year old and looked in his 50s. He has a heart attack and bypass surgery one year ago, which he recovered well from.
He had a brain biopsy to determine what type of tumor he had. He had a bleed and it caused him to have the effects of a stroke. Radation caused his blood to thicken, he was doing ok and then developed a clot in his right leg. Because of the bleed he is not to have any blood thinners.
He has had 28 rounds of radiation.
MRI August and Oct 2004 show no changes.
