I had an ASTROCYTOMA GRADE I brain 🧠 tumor when I was just (11) years old. I am (66) years old now.
My tumor was located in the pituitary temporal, parietal, occipital area.
According to my medical records it was the size of a large size lemon.
I also had a PNEUMOENCEPHLOGRAM, VENTRICULARGRAM, and ANGIOGRAM. I was only a child back then and the tumor was benign.
However, I still have TANTALUM CLIPS #73 on the periodic table in my brain 🧠 holding major blood vessels together. They have been in my brain 🧠 now for (55) years. I had seizures most of my life 🧬 and still take the seizure medication to raise the seizure threshold. My last seizure was in (2013) and have been seizure free ever since.
They didn't have chemo or radiation back in (1970) so I didn't receive any of that. GOD BLESSED ME!
WHICH is why I lived my life 🧬 off of H. O. P. E. that is an acronym for Helping Other People Everywhere!
I made that up because GOD gave me a second chance at life 🧬 so I also changed the lives of many students when I went to college and worked as a teacher's assistant/tutor.
Even at (66) years old, I still help people in whatever capacity I can.
I hope these words are encouraging for you and it helps you get through your illness and condition.
GOOD LUCK 🤞🤞🍀🍀
and my GOD BLESS you and your family and friends and colleagues and watch over you and protect you and help guide you also.
