As my title says, here we go again. I will be having brain surgery again to remove whatever is in my head. No better way to spend Valentines Day than having brain surgery, am I right? During this I would ask you all to spend it with the people you love and live the day to its fullest. There is a possibility of more vision difficulties because this growth is near the occipital lobe which controls vision.
I also had an appointment with my epilepsy doctor. He said the numbness I have experiencing around the corner of my mouth and my hand is from the growth in my brain. The numbness is a simple partial seizure. The face and hand nerves are right next to each other in the brain. That is why I don’t feel it in the arm.
This journey that I am on is not over. This is just another loop in my rollercoaster I call life.
Back in June 2006, the summer before my senior year of high school I started this rollercoaster ride and was diagnosed with Leukemia. Then fast forward two years of treatment with chemo and a few hip surgeries including having both my hips replaced. I still managed to graduate high school in 2007 while fighting cancer and treating. I took 2 years college tuition as my make a wish and determined right there that I was going to beat cancer and be a college graduate. But little did I know that I was going to have another fight with cancer in the form of brain tumor come May 2013. A Grade II astrocytoma to be precise. I ended up having to put college on the back burner to fight this battle and I came out on top again. Now what brings me to why I'm starting this blog. I recently managed to fulfill my dream and graduated college on May 9th 2018. Unfortunately only to find out the very next day that my tumor had come back and appeared to be a higher grade.
