Hi. I’m very sorry for your diagnosis and I don’t know how you’re feeling at this point. Early on in the disease most people don’t even know they have it but when it progresses, it’s not good. But there are some things that can certainly help manage it. I would go back and read the posts here Of people who are going through this and we are all at different stages and we have it affect us all differently. When you go to read about it, make sure that you’re going to very reputable sites, including the large medical clinics. Many of us use different treatments to help. I use Massage and pain management and some medication, but I have to be careful with what I take for medication. I’m just pretty sensitive. I think the name of the game is also to keep moving If you can. My best wishes & prayers to you. 🙏

Thank you for your kind words. So far I’m in no pain which is kind of throwing the Doctors off. My only problem is with my gait right now. And I can still drive and function. If my tumor doesn’t grow I’m inclined to leave well enough alone. I have been very blessed in life with a loving husband and family. I try to maintain a positive attitude. Thank you for your prayers and good thoughts!!
