@kitty2 I had a tumor on one of my parathyroid glands back in 2007. I was so sick before the surgery because my calcium level had gone up.
I had the surgery in 2008, and immediately felt so much better! Literally, the next day it was as if a cloud was lifted off my head.
The parathyroid glands are extremely important because they regulate the calcium in your system and it affects your brain. When one gets a tumor, it has to come out for the sake of your brain chemistry.

The surgery is very simple, and nothing to fear.
