Tricia’s Story

Site created on March 14, 2024

Tricia Gorsegner has been dealing with nagging health concerns for a few years. She had an MRI in February 2024, and they found a brain tumor on the imaging. She has now been to OHSU for neuro consult and an in depth eye exam. She has been told that she will need surgery.  Surgery is scheduled for May 22nd, 2024.


Tricia and Ed have asked to please not text them about tumor updates. They are overwhelmed. This is a shock and difficult trial for their family. Please come here for updates instead of asking Tricia or Ed. They want to focus on positivity and not think about tumor 24/7. Thank you for your understanding. Please remember the Gorsegner family in prayer.

Journal entry by Cariann Royall

Many have asked about meals.

Ed is requesting no meal train at this time. So, Tricia and I have worked up a good list of freezer meals, and are planning to go shopping next week, and work together (along with another friend or two) to cook/prep a ton of meals that will be easy for her family to prepare for dinners, plus a few breakfast dishes, desserts, and breads/muffins. Our goal is to have at least 2 weeks of meals, closer to a month of meals prepped and frozen by surgery date.

If anyone wants to provide a meal from now until surgery date, they wont say no. Tricia and Ed are not asking for anything, but if you want to help, your help will be gladly received.

If you want to provide a freezer meal for the family, it will be accepted with warm gratitude. 

Please reach out to me with any questions on this. Cariann Royall (360)601-5472

Tricia extends her thankfulness for all the love, prayers and offers to help. It means a lot.
