Fuck brain cancer

On Treatment
Written By Liz Salmi

At this time last year I was having seizures and still didn't know what was wrong with me. I had seizures at Target, seizures at Starbucks, seizures in the shower, seizures while playing cards in my living room.

Within a few weeks I was diagnosed with a glioma around the same time as Sen. Ted Kennedy. Kennedy also experienced seizures, but his tumor was of a higher grade. He was significantly older than I am, which didn't help his prognosis. Senator Kennedy died this morning from his cancer.
BTW: You know you're big-time when your Wikipedia page is updated within hours of your death.
