Did Kathy Gertzen have a stroke?

MrSG mentioned today that he saw Kathy on TV the other day, and one side of her mouth was drooping. Now, I know that brain surgery can also have that effect, but I wondered if anyone knew how she is doing.

1. She has a brain tumor

She had surgery several years ago when it was first found but I don't think they were able to get it all. It returned so I think you are seeing the effects of the tumor.

She is a brave woman along with all of the others that suffer through these disieses.

2. Yes, I knew about the brain tumor.

Just wondered if she had had a stroke on top of that, perhaps as a result of the surgery.

3. No stroke. Just the tumor and treatments related to the tumor that

have caused temporary, partial paralysis to some of the nerves on her face.
