Permission to live: Advocacy burnout
A few months ago I started to wonder if I should be doing all these things I am doing in the brain tumor community. Through this work I am fighting and fighting and fighting. I have been fighting since July 2008, and all of this fighting has taken a toll.
My world is on fire
I was angry about people who are angry about the lack of "awareness" for brain tumors. I get angry that people think our disease is slighted for some reason.
