papacha Posted April 13, 2015 Report Posted April 13, 2015 Help out a bright student, a brave soul and a beautiful girl to fight against brain tumor and get her back into her academic journey. Yamini, a PhD student at Indiana University's School of Informatics and one of my best friends was diagnosed with a pineal tumor a few months ago. She has been seeing quite a few neurologists and neurosurgeons across the country in the past 6 months. Most of the doctors seem to think that the location of the tumor poses a lot of risks to the surgery and they think that the tumor could cause irreversible damage to her brain. Fortunately, we found a neurosurgeon, Dr.Shahinian at Skull Base Insitute, Los angeles who pioneered the endoscopic skull based surgery and is optimistic about her case. To prevent any further damage to her brain, she needs to get a surgery done as soon as possible. But the surgery is too expensive and out-of-reach for her as the insurance doesn't cover the entire cost. Your help can help her get back on her feet and not only put an end to months of agony but also prevent permanent damage to her brain. Quick Reference: Tentative surgery date: 15 Apr 2015 Surgeon's name: Dr.Hrayr Shahinian Type of surgery: Endoscopic skull based surgery Facility: Mission community hospital, 14850 Roscoe Blvd, Panorama City, CA 91402 Research Institute: Skull Base Institute, 8635 West 3rd Street, Suite 1170 W, Los Angeles, CA 90048 Resources: Get to know Yamini through her blog: https://npoht.wordpress.com/ Skull Base Institute: http://www.skullbaseinstitute.com/ About pineal tumor: http://www.skullbaseinstitute.com/pineal-tumor/ Endoscopic pineal tumor surgery: LINK: https://www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/5gb6/yamini-s-brain-tumor-fundraiser
