It effects my memory. My father was killed in a car wreck two years ago. He raised me on his own. Sadly, now I am forget so many great memories that we created together.
I sure am stronger than I thought.
Be there. Listen, explain. Everyday is different
headaches, short term memories, long term memories, hand-eye coordination, seizures…. that all I can thank of but I do have memory problems. HAHAHA
Oct 06, left-frontal lobe. I had a lot of problems but the one I will complain about is: the doc shaved my head. Before going into surgery. he said he would only shave where he was cutting. When I woke up, I found he shaved half of my head.
I will never be without cancer. I have been told this by doctors all over the United States. I just have to cope with it. Wow! This is something I never thought I would have to face. This past week, I had my 3 month MRI to find few changes are shown on the MRI but I have changed. Pain, memory, seizures, the list goes on. My doc wanted to wait to do radiation until something changed. Sadly, in the past three month, I have changed. I can’t remember things I did two seconds ago. I have to ask my students at school if they show my take my medicine because I have no idea whether I did or not.
My greatest fear is that I will be not better by doing to the radiation, I will be sick all summer and then in 6 months to year have the side effects of that also. What is the right thing for me to do? Do I do nothing? Do I do this? This has been a never ending question my family and I have been debating for almost two years.
The fact of the matter is, I will always have cancer! According to doc after doc, this is something I will have the rest of the my life. So, is the radiation going to help better my life by taking away pain. Or…..is it going to make my pain, memories ect. worse. What is best for me! ??????????????
Do what you think is best, you have to trust your doctor. You look young. There are new drugs being made every single day. Don’t you give up hope that something amazing can come along.
Even in the 9 months where I had a break from cancer, there are new drugs for me to take and they work better to kill this disease. It’s amazing, there will be no stop to the new treatments. Keep your head up girl!
Prayers and love,

There are days when I wish we all had a book of the “right” answers. What to do next, and what the outcome would be.
In my lifetime, cancer has gone from being a death sentence to being something that is, often, managed and overcome.
Which treatment path to follow has to be determined by you and your loved ones. Some choose a full medical regimen, while others are following a holistic program and still others are mixing and matching.
No matter your choice I pray you have peace and a blessed journey. The photos you post show a wonderful loving bunch, lean on them and let them carry you through.
