Hi there! My name is Rebekah J Lang and I write about the everyday things of life.Sometimes they are good, andother times they are not so good. My illness is one of those things included somewhere in there! (smile)
I have been terminally ill with a brainstem tumor for almost nine years before it was taken out.
Besides being sick, I am an animal lover, a follower of christ, and I like to take long walks.
Sometimes I take the walks with my dog, Foxxy!
'Foxxy Dog' has since died. She was a good little person!
I appreciate you taking the time to view my newsletter and website!
On November 12, 2008 I was diagnosed with not 2
lesions but 4 lesions and a meningioma behind my
right eye. The Doc said to leave it all alone for
now. When it starts to grow, he will remove some
of them.
Well, it is the year of 2011 and my tumor
behind my right eye keeps on growing. I had
Gamma Knife Radiation on Jan.15th,2010.On St. Patty''s Day, 2011,
I shall talk with the neurosurgeon to get his thoughts as to whether or not surgery would affect
my vision and all other stuff.
It is August of 2011. I have 3 meningiomas
and 1 cavernoma in my brain. Life is hard with
headaches every day and vision problems.
Excuse me for not writing as much.
Love to you all, Rosie
Newsletter Dated: 9/18/2005 3:41:33 PMSubject: Hey Readers! Life has gotten me excited!! I wanted to write and share my enthusiasm with everyone today! I have finally realized some things that my family has been trying to tell me for Years!!!! I am sure they are saying, "Better late than never that she has finally understood the message!"
My Mom and I have gotten very excited and have been making plans. I realized the importance, of eating "proper" and "healthily"! I am a large woman and at one time in 2002 weighed almost 500 pounds! I have lost 180-220 pounds in two years and did not have stomach surgery or anything! I got my act together for awhile and started exercising, eating smaller portions, cutting out the junk food except for a treat once a month, and eating five times a day instead of three big portions a day. I really lost the weight fast! For the past year and a half though, I have been "hovering" from 280 pounds to 330 pounds. It has been very frustrating and I just did not know what was wrong with me! I had suddenly stopped loosing weight! And then started to gain, again! Some of that was induced by medical problems, however. I could not control that but I did get some medication readjusted and I have started to loose again! Yippee!
I have to admit that I have been eating a lot of junk food lately. However, when I go to McDonalds, I will just have a Cheeseburger and a Medium Diet Coke. That is a great deal better than when I would have a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and Fries and an apple pie to eat! Usually the body just wants something good tasting but Not to fill you up, you are so stuffed and cannot move! Those days are in the past! I am working on making my visits to McDonalds or Chik-fil-a becoming less each month. I do not even drive and go to these places when my Mom or sisters take me out in their vehicles!
I have a Super family that loves me very much. I am soo blessed to have them in my life! I used to think I was responsible for my sisters and Mom, Dad/Step-Mom.
I figured it out however, I am not accountable to any of the people in my family and do not owe them anything! When I realized this, it was like a big weight had been lifted off of me!
Life is good, my health is improving, and God is Great!
Love to you all,
Becca Lang
I changed my name this past summer from "Rebecca E Henry" to "Rebecca Pauline Lang"! You like the sound of that?
