NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS

Lung, Brain, and Bone Cancer

Lise Kraemer's life changed when doctors found a tumor in her left lung. The lung was removed immediately, along with 26 lymph nodes. Despite the emergency surgery, the cancer had quickly metastasized to her brain and left hip. Lise underwent surgery and braved radiation on her brain and hip for six weeks, only to find that another tumor had developed in her right leg. Now Lise is on successful chemotherapy. She’s just begun aquatic therapy in the HydroWorx pool at ACCUA in Savage, MN. The pool provides an effective workout without any pounding on her compromised lower body.
