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.

With cancer I think about death more than I did before, and when faced with situations filled with extreme beauty and emotion I breathe in each moment knowing it may be the last time I experience it. The Rothko painting was a special moment for me. I don't want it to be my last.
