Crossing Jordan: Jordan has Meningioma Surgery Tonight

Tonight on the NBC TV show "Crossing Jordan" the main character, Jordan goes to the hospital to undergo risky brain surgery....for a meningioma! This episode is on NBC at 9pm. You can find more info on the show HERE

NBC channel WHDH in Boston just had a brief spot on the 4:30pm news that mentioned the program tonight and also had an interview with Dr Black (who did my surgery). They were saying that if you needed surgery for a meningioma the best place in the country was at Brigham and Woman's Hospital. I guess for once I got lucky! :-)

The news said you could find a link to the segment on their website, but all I have found so far is a link to the Brain Science Foundation (which is great to increase awareness). Here is a blurb I found on that site:
"Dr. Peter Black on NBC! The Brain Science Foundation is excited to announce that NBC affiliate, Channel 7 in Boston, has interviewed Dr. Peter Black for comments on the NBC hit show, Crossing Jordan, whose main character has a meningioma. "

Hi I found your blog quite by chance (pressing that random button "next blog" on the top bar).

That sounds like a nasty situation. I hope they totally zap it and it never comes back. My Mum had breast cancer last year but it got caught early & proper dealt with (touch wood). I pray for you that you will be all right.

I do a blog too; it is a "secret diary online" blog, v different to yours (I have my own problems). You're welcome to drop by.

See you there maybe. Take care!
