Rosemary Alvarez, a mother of four, from Arizona, got the shock in her life when her doctor told Rosemary that she had a brain tumor. She was scheduled for surgery and after the operation, her doctor told her that she did not find a brain tumor. Instead he found a worm feeding off on her brain cells.
