Astrocytoma 1971

John

I had an Astrocytoma in 1971, when I was 2 years old. I was treated in San Antonio, TX and then I was moved to a doctor / hospital in Philadelphia. As a result of my brain tumor and massive doses of radiation I have partial paralysis on my left side. Despite all of this I have competed in road cycling, Olympic style horse jumping shows, I scuba dive and I have bachelors degree in Computer Science.
