Hey ,

I remember when you joined the group and were having unexplained

symptoms(falling over, no balance, etc). If I remember correctly, you didn't get

the best medical treatment at first (?) and then they found the brain tumor. I'm

so glad the tumor is gone. Whoo-hoo!

Sometimes it helps me if I joke around and not take my pain so seriously. I know

it has thrown people off at times but I don't want to bring everyone " down " .

Then there are other times when I am desperate just to let it all out and vent

or cry. So everyone deals with these things differently. I'm glad your positive

attitude is helping you through all this. Keep it up, you should be very proud!

You mentioned therapy/counseling might have shown you negative things you would

not have thought of or had to dealt with. Well, I think its good to work through

those feeling ASAP. I waited until early 30's to seek counseling when I should

have been going from 18 on. We have to see those family patterns and how they

have affected us so we can break them,not do the same, and figure out how we

want our lives to be or not be! It sounds like you have turned the negatives

into something more positive in your adult life. You are a very strong person

and should give yourself a big pat on the back!

Again, I'm so glad the tumor is gone and hopefully this will all be over for you

soon. Take care,

Caitlin

ok it might be spelled wrong but it normally is a 10 year old childs tumor, had

to laugh and tell my husband, see I am a 10 year old in a 40 year olds body,

LOL. He is always telling me to grow up) didn't even show up on the Aug 07's MRI

(we did that one at 3 months of treatment I had so it had disappeared by then

and this last one about 12 weeks ago didn't show anything either so that is good

news.
