Overview
- Speaking with journalist Vickey Lalwani, Jamie recounts her younger brother’s neck tumour diagnosis during his school years.
- She says an initial surgery in Mumbai failed, after which Jesse was placed on intensive medication reportedly reaching 50–60 tablets a day.
- According to Jamie, doctors warned that operating was high risk because the tumour was entwined with vital nerves, with potential paralysis or loss of eyesight.
- A chance encounter with a priest during a U.S. trip led the family to New York specialists, where a lengthy second surgery successfully removed the tumour.
- Jamie reports that Jesse has fully recovered and now works as a musician and performer, and she credits the ordeal with deepening the family’s faith.
