Can't Duck It

"For me a brain tumor and its treatments are not a pause in the adventure of life, but instead a part of the adventure of life." Mary has survived big hair, a brain tumor, coming out, distressed bowel syndrome, hallucinations, radiation, and a car wreck. Here Mary takes us from public transportation horrors to the joys of sharing life with you. Though you probably won't want to have a brain tumor; you will wish that you could see the world through Mary's eyes. Sister Jen

The Red Zone

Today, Ann and I are celebrating in the Brain Tumor Red Zone. Wednesday's MRI, my six-month check-up, showed a stable brain (no guffaws, please), meaning that I have no new tumor. Yea!

The most common time for this tumor to regrow is in the first three years after one is removed. This is year two, so the tumor is still within the ten yard line, but it hasn't scored yet, and it only has one down to go.

I'm hoping it doesn't even get a field goal.

Now, on from football season to basketball season...
