Four brain surgeries, now five? Really?!

Four brain surgeries, now five? Really?!

Susan

Just learned today that my meningioma tumor atypical grade two is back yet again. I have had four brain surgeries as of today, Yes this is my 4 year anniversary of having my first twelve hour brain surgery- I answered my phone earlier today (a Sunday) saying it is back and has grown 20% in ten months. I am in total shock. How many surgeries can a person have on their brain? I am already disabled, deaf, no balance on left side, bad memory, etc… but oh so grateful to be here with that. I am ALIVE!!! I am BLESSED! I WILL continue to fight this fight. God has held my hand thus far, I have FAITH that he will continue.
