Just wrote a poem about living with my illness. Something interesting....I drew a watercolor painting back in 1992 of my head and realized when I found it today, cleaning out some bins, that it shows 3 tumors/lesions!!!! Yes, THREE! I do not know if I can take three of them! Just getting news on the second one has thrown me for a loop!
Of course, the picture could be wrong, but I drew it back in 1992, 13 years before the second one was found! ?????
Makes you wonder!!!!!
A dysfunctional family, (aren’t we all?) My only stability going to Doctor’s Offices. That was my habit, I got addicted.
Mom told me, ”You’re a hypochondriac”. Then I had the arduous process of the first brainstem lesion/tumor for the next eight and a half years! That showed her!
Not that I wanted it or anything. I was just sooooooANGRY at her back then in 1989, and I resented her living in my dorm room while I was in the hospital receiving radiation or having a brain shunt revision surgery!
Lesion taken out, Year 1997. Eighteen months to recover. Do okay till Feb. 2003. Doctors don’t do anything. MRI scan on Aug. 9th, 2004; ANOTHER lesion/tumor has shown up! Where do I go from here? Six months later, it is starting, all over again.
God give me your strength!

Sometimes a faux picture can show if it is just a fluid sac. This is not uncommon. In fact I have a fluid sac where my kidney was. One person that I know had what appeared to be a new lesion on her brain but it wasn't. She however Rebecca has survived five of them.
I've oftened wondered about "second ones." One blessing I do see, is that you know what to expect. You beat it once, you can do it again. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers... Dave
