I am not quite sure how to classify this. It is the culture of the person that is going thru the catastrophic event, that I would like to read what I wrote, after I found out I was terminally ill with what we had thought in 1989-1994 as a brainstem TUMOR that was cancerous and I was going to die!
In September 1997, the brainstem "thing" was taken out and turned out to be a clump of blood vessels called a "Cavernous Hemangioma". I was very fortunate to have it out and recovered with little side affects. I owe Dr. Samson my life. Bless his soul!
We believe the road is endless,
all our dreams will come true .
But the road can turn bumpy
and end quite abruptly.
Some might find our life as lonely,
empty, and nothing really accomplished.
My road shall end soon,
for I have a brainstem tumor.
I shall miss the sweetness of life,
the innocence of a child's youth -
for my own was shattered.
Sometimes life is unfair -
but who said life was fair???????
These are my own words that I wrote on
June 10, 1989. I was just 1 month and 6 days after diagnosis when I wrote this, being only 19 years old.
