Halloween 2010, I was diagnosed with meningioma. Doctor said 6 days in the hospital and I would walk out. 3 weeks later, I did not walk out, but I limped out. I worked hard to get my balance back, my strength, my confidence. I GOT IT! One year later, the tumor grew back even though the doctor said it wouldn’t.
