Misty

I had headaches for many years never thought much about it, until I started having dizzy spells, I had an MRI and was diagnosed with a brain tumor 2 weeks before my 30th birthday. My surgery was 22 hours and I had a stroke during surgery. My tumor was the size of a roll of quarters underneath middle of my brain, it has been a long journey for my family and I, but February 23,2015 I will be 8 years tumor free! Have faith! Stay strong! You can overcome!
