Hello there I'm Zach and this is my story, I'm not 100 percent sure of when this all began but I think it was around the christmas time. I started getting really emotional and my moods were really bad. I was either horribly depressed or having these strange thoughts that would in turn make me feel like I was a genius or whenever I got into religon a disciple or something along those lines. My parents first thought was to send me to a psychitrist. Upon meeting me and after I had told him everything he diagonosed me as being bi polar. I was put on medication for it, and at the time I had felt relived for I thought it explained all my symptoms. But as time passed my moods got progressively worse. I looked forward to my visits with the psychitrist for it was like my personality was slipping away. I became very depressed and I was eventually placed on Zolof. I then started having suicidal thoughts, and was eventually placed in a sucidal prevention center. Still thinking I was Bipolar at the time. Upon my stay a nurse noticed my pupils were not responding to light and upon my release an MRI was ordered. It uncovered the tumor and all the rest is sort of a blur since then. I have a germonia in the middle of my brain and so far I have had one round of chemotherapy.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis... I hope everything is going good for you ( as good as it can given the circumstances, I suppose).

Other than your odd moods, did you have any other symptoms at all? I mean I know your pupils weren't responding to light (I guess that would be a symptom as well) but did you ever have any associated pains - i.e. neck pains, headaches (especially migraines), maybe some sensitivity to light in general (like you can't look at a computer screen for long periods of time without getting a headache)?

Either way, best of luck in your treatment... I'm not sure what all the terms mean regarding brain cancer - but if the doctors are treating you at least it's, well, treatable. Smile Good luck...
