MUSC saved my life

Published on May 4, 2017 in Share Your Story

I’ve been living with my brain tumor since age 9. It’s been very hard. Being that it tumor sits on my optic nerve if it was removed I would have been blind. I had radiation to kill my tumor. I Also have a VP Shunt to help the pressure around my tumor.
Living with a brain tumor is very serious. Not to mention the continual trips to the doctor. Thanking the man up stairs and Dr. Jenerett at MUSC for saving my life. Today I am 21 years old graduated high school, trying to work on my college degree, and recently gave birth to a beautiful baby boy.
