    • About Me

      I am a 25 year old woman suffering from Giant Cell Tumor that sits beneath the brain and on the optical nerves. I suffered for a year and 6 or so months of suicidial migraine headaches and finally Jan. 2009 the headache are far and few between. They now think that the tumor has shrunk as much as it is going to and they say there is no activity in it as of the point. Most appts. have slowed down to every 6 mths which is good since they are all 2 hours away. MRI'S are every 3 mths until my 2 year anniv. then it will go up to 4 mths. Dealing with the tumor is and will always be the hard part but I am slowly getting my life back at least most of it with regulations or limits. You will find I am a very positive person despite what I have been through. If you need a friend just ask me to be one I will be happy to be there for you.
