Luminita was the only albino I ever treated. Her eyes had a pinkish glow like a rabbit, and her hair was white and feathery around her face. She suffered from low-grade glioma, a cancer fatal in its tendency towards excessive growth. For the past month, she was under the care of a neurosurgeon, before he turned her over to me, to have her mind evaluated before surgery.
