My Life with a Brain Tumor….

Whitney

I found out I had a softball size brain tumor on the same day I delivered my second baby girl. I had lost all use of my right arm and leg. I had surgery 2 weeks later. They could not get all of it during surgery because of where it is located. A 1 1/2 later it has returned and I will have surgery again. I take the attitude that “it is what it is”. I have an amazing husband, 2 amazing little baby girls and and especially amazing family….what more could I ask for. Well, I could ask for hair but hair is overrated!
