Brain tumor

I went to the doctors office just for a regular visit, but I had mentioned that I had headaches all the time. They wanted to do a CT scan and, at the time I lived in Boowie, TX, so I had a long drive back home. On my way back home, they called me and told me that I needed to come back immediately, so I called my boyfriend at that time and he begged for me to come and get him. I went back and I found out that I had a brain tumor the size of a orange on the right side  of my brain. Since I was already seeing a hematologist at the center for cancer office, they set me up a appointment the very next day, and that next day I was put in the hospital. They were talking about surgery, but they said I could possibly lose my memory. So I ended up having my surgery on October 10, 2012. I still have my memory… I mean I do forget stuff a lot.
