by Joseph C Salvo (Author)
Within two weeks I visited three different doctors, had four MRIs, was diagnosed with a meningioma tumor and endured twelve hours of very delicate brain surgery. Post-surgery, an unexpected turn of events occurred. If the reader is confronted with an unimaginable and seemingly insurmountable challenge, he or she must remember that with fortitude, God's help, support from family and friends, and an excellent medical team, anything is possible.
When I left the rehabilitation facility, the entire medical staff referred to me as being a "miracle" and encouraged me to write a book. They felt that my journey would give hope to others who had dealt with, or were presently dealing with, a life-changing experience. I did indeed encounter many coincidences during my journey that re-affirmed that God had indeed interceded on my behalf during the entire process.
