This Woman Was Shot In the Neck... And It Saved Her Life

Seeing Something

The surgery to remove the arrow took about two hours, but the trouble was just beginning. When the doctors were searching for the piece of the arrow in the neck, they found something much darker on their monitors. It was a brain tumor! Donna and her family were shocked. She later would say she went numb at the news. What would this mean for her?

A Difficult Location

The doctors were optimistic that the tumor was benign, but there was another problem. The tumor was located deep in her brain and they would struggle to get it out. Donna was stunned and opted to get a second opinion. The second doctor told her the same thing. She then knew that there was no other way around it. She would have to undergo brain surgery... and fast.
