Maria

Hello! My name is Maria Quintana and I was Diagnosed with an inoperable Benign Brain Tumor (Meningioma) in April 2012. For about 2 years before I was diagnosed I was suffering from headaches, dizziness, nausea and fatigue. My vision was also suffering and I was getting very clumsy in the 6 months before I was diagnosed I had Fallen 4 times the last time I fell I fractured my tailbone. I still continue to suffer from all these symptoms and more. I want to bring awareness that Benign Brain Tumors can still effect quality of life even though they are considered Benign. Thank You in advance for all your help.
