You've been really helpful to me and I noticed the links to your story so far. After reading them, my heart goes out to you. I haven't had a brain tumor, but I have suffered seizures (diagnosed epilepsy) and have had seizures that are nothing like what is in the text books so they're kind of a weird one. The weird ones started after I developed ovarian cancer - hormonal disruption.
With the possibility of another kind of 'c' lingering, I am fully aware of how frustrating and scary it must be. Especially since yours concerns such a vital organ that impacts everything. The disruption in speech when you're 'perfectly' normal is embarrassing. The malfunctions irritating and uncontrollable.
You are a helpful individual and I hope I can offer you the support like you have already offered me. |

Midnight_Butterfly, thank you for your warm expression of concern for me. I am doing fine health-wise right now... no evidence of disease as they say.
The forum keeps me very busy. I love to help others in their time of need. I am not exactly sure why, but I do feel "comfortable" (?) around sick, dying, and grieving people.
I am sorry to hear about your epilepsy. My seizures are relatively mild and I have not had one in over 2 years now. I guess I am taking the right medicines now  .
Regards,

| I'm glad to hear you're doing well. I understand that you feel good helping others who have been in a similar situation or witnessing something - empathy is much better than sympathy. |

I woke up crying this morning after dreaming about going on a trip back to Brazil, the country where I grew up and still deeply love. In the dream, I was at the end of a visit with friends in my "home country." I woke up when I realized that might be my last trip to Brazil. After awaking, I realized that very likely I have already had that last trip back in 1996.
I love Arizona in the late winter and early spring. I have been to Phoenix 3 times... once when I was 12 years old and then twice within the last 10 years. I love Phoenix and would move there if it were not that it is too far away from my kids. Will I ever go back? Probably not.
Life is so full of those types of experiences. Having had cancer and at my age, I am so keenly aware of those opportunities. The last time I visited my Hawkins side of the family in North Carolina was well over 5 years ago. Have I made that trip for the last time? Will I ever visit Europe? Australia? (after all, I now have several friends Downunder ). I suspect that the answer is "No"  .
My point is, take advantage of all of those special chances that come your way; you never know if you will ever be able to do it again.

Jim you are an inspiration to all, i've been on this website for a few days now but i can see already how amazing and strong the people on this forum are, i am awaiting more tests and scans to determine my state of health. Im so glad i came on here and i wish the best of luck to everyone on here who is dealing with their severe and not so severe health problems. Im not a christian but i do believe there's something out there looking down on us and helping us to fight through everything.
