My Story…
Just over 1 year ago I was diagnosed with a stage 2 Astrocytoma. 1 month later I underwent my first craniotomy that was followed by 2 more due to infection that lead to 2 PICC lines & several course of IV antibiotics; I eventually had my bone flap removed & will need to get a synthetic flap inserted at a later time. My brain tumour was 8cm in length and they were able to resect 5cm surgically. I then completed 6 weeks of combined radiation and chemotherapy. I am currently half way through 12 cycles of my chemotherapy. I have lost parts of myself through this, especially what feels like my youth, but I have also gained so much. I want to complete this run for myself and the people I love that have struggled through this alongside me. "There is no dishonour in losing the race, there's only dishonour in not racing."
