YINCHENG, Jiaozhi: Yincheng Metropolitan Hospital chief of staff Dr. Chen Zhu said today that following an emergency admission, the Emperor's mother, 83-year-old Ryeo Kyunghee has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Ryeo fainted yesterday evening, and reportedly struck her head on a table as she fell to the floor. Ryeo's aids picked her up and flew her to the Yincheng Metropolitan Hospital by air ambulance.

The hospital's chief of staff said in a press conference that the Emperor's mother “has been stabilized, and has regained consciousness." However, following a comprehensive examination including MRI and CAT scans, it was discovered that the Emperor's mother has a Grade 2 astrocytoma brain tumor.

When Dr. Chen shared his diagnosis with the Emperor's mother, she reportedly "refused all treatment options," claiming that she had lived a long enough life. Chen said that, "Her Imperial Majesty confessed that she didn't feel that at her age, she had the strength to undertake chemotherapy and surgical options."

Dr. Chen said that the hospital's neurological department has gave the Emperor's mother a life expectancy of around four years without treatment.

Ryeo Kyunghee has been an exceedingly popular figure in Indrala for nearly 60 years. Thus many in the nation are aware of the profound suffering she has endured over her life, such as the persecution of her family, the assassination of her father and brother, as well as the recent kidnapping of her nephew, Ryeo Seojun. Thousands of Indralans have gathered outside of the Yincheng Metropolitan Hospital to wish the Emperor's mother a long life and miraculous recovery.
