I just thought I would say hello and explain my current situation.
3 weeks ago I collapsed without warning at work. At first I thought it was a stroke as my entire right side was paralyzed and I was unable to speak yet remained conscious throughout.
At hospital the scans showed that it was not a stroke but in fact a brain tumor located pretty much in the center of my brain where it is apparently not operable (at the moment).
I am now about to go for my first biopsy to see what type it is and will have to go from there with whatever treatment they feel is appropriate. Truthfully it is not the tumor that bothers me most, but the constant disruption to my daily life that the constant seizures I now suffer from have wrought.
I started my own blog, on a friends recommendation, and have found this to be a great help in expressing what is in my head. I will not spam this group with the blog posts as I would never be that rude....however if you wish to read it the link is in my profile or I would be happy to message the details.
I don't honestly know what I want to get out of this....but just knowing that there are others the same as me out there is a comfort in itself.
I am right at the start of my journey but if anyone wants to chat or just bend the ear of a stranger then please hit me up.
