Living with a slow-growing brain cancer.
There are more than 500 posts here. Use this search to look for something specific. Good luck!
A note about my oldest posts: I began blogging about brain cancer in 2008, at age 29. I had no background or knowledge about healthcare when I started. Please excuse typos and other misconceptions. What you read here is me in real time, like a time capsule.
I wish Brittany Maynard had met other 29-year-olds with brain cancer
I have known people who have died from brain cancer, and I know people who are still living with this disease. I wanted to tell Brittany to wait it out--you don't know how fast these things will bring you down. I wish Brittany gave herself time to meet other people like herself and to find out what life can be like for a 29-year-old with brain cancer. But who am I to tell a stranger what to do?
