That which does not kill us makes us stronger. – Frederich Nietzsche If this is true, I am going to be a fucking genius. Four years ago today I had my first brain surgery. On that day I woke up in [...]
I volunteer as a “Mentor Angel” with a group called Imerman Angels. This organization carefully matches and individually pairs people touched by cancer (a cancer fighter, survivor or caregiver) with someone who has fought and survived the same type of cancer [...]
I have a group of girl friends called the Glioma Girls. We all have brain cancer. Actually, the name of the group was created by Erin, the founding member. She says she wouldn’t have created the group if it wasn’t [...]

My ambidexterity has become more noticeable over the past two years (since last surgery)–especially since it’s hard to tell my left from right. I pick up an object and am confused as to which hand I should be using the [...]
