Brain / CNS Tumors Support Group
A brain tumor is any intracranial tumor created by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division, normally either found in the brain itself, in the cranial nerves, in the brain envelopes, skull, pituitary and pineal gland, or spread from cancers primarily located in other organs (metastatic tumors). Brain tumors may be benign or malignant.
Just wanted to let you know that I started a blog called Meningioma Living at meningiomablog.blogspot.com
its just a way for me to share everything I have gone through this year since being diagnosed. This board is great, but I have so much to say. Just letting everyone know they are free to check it out and leave comments if you want. If you are new to this, you can get an idea of what can happen, and if you've been going through this for awhile, maybe we have similar experiences or completely different experiences. Anyways, Its my way of sharing.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Good luck,

I also heard all the hype about Tuesdays with Morrie and finally read it. It really helped me with my perspective. I will continue to check in on your and your blog. Keep writing!
It was interesting to read about your experience with radiation therapy and I was reluctant to go that way myself for various reasons. Here's some information on another treatment option you may not have considered. If your tumour keeps growing keep it in mind. Here's my story to share, just published in the Australian Medical Journal:
