THANK YOU!  And you and you and you and you!  I can not thank you all enough for the support.  I truly feel like I can take on the world and not even flinch.  Tonight was an amazing night filled with friends, family, laughs and love.  Bowling for brains is what I shall dub the night.  Friends from work met friends from high school.  Friends from my girlfriends past met friends from my past.  People coming together all just to hang out and throw some balls at some pins.  It was amazingly therapeutic and relaxing.  If it wasn't for the lame headache I could have gone all night!

My friends truly are cooler than yours.

Tonight will be the last night I have before my future is laid out for me.  I will go in tomorrow and find out what my doctor thinks is wrong with me.  Good or bad, I will accept what he has to say and stay strong because regardless of what he tells me, I know I can and will beat it.  I HAVE to beat it.  There is no other choice in the matter and regardless of the road I end up on, I will come out on top.  

Until tomorrow, 
LOVE!

    I'm a friend of Tash's, but I've been following your posts closely and you've been in my thoughts all week. I'm sending you as many best case scenario vibes as possible!! Not only are you going to beat it, but you're going to kick its ass!

9 Years Later...

By
A few hours post-op Today is pretty bitter sweet. It marks my 9 year Cancerversary... but with an asterisk. As I said in my last post, 9 years is a long time, 9 years with GBM is a lifetime. The excitement of making it this long is not what I was hoping it would be, but 9 years nonetheless, is quite the accomplishment and I am happy to be here. I am nowhere near done with this life so I hope you all aren’t sick of me just yet. -- Surgery went off without a hitch! I’m sure everybody is super curious as to how an awake craniotomy takes place, so I guess I can go ahead and walk you through it as I am now a seasoned veteran.  I checked in bright and early (around 5:30am) and then waited.. And waited.. And waited until about 7am. Around 7am I was brought back to the initial surgery waiting area where I with 3 other patients all waiting to go to their surgeries. Once I arrived in this secondary waiting area I was greeted by countless people that would be involved in the surgery. So many ...

Encore

So here we are again. Allllllmost made it 9 years. 9 years is a long time. 9 years with GBM is basically a lifetime. Allow me to welcome back those that were with me on my first tumor journey (and thanks again) and hello to all the new friends that are just joining me for this one. I decided to brush off this old blog to use as my go forward updating tool so everyone can read or re-read what the first time around looked like. If you followed my first journey, you will know that I will always be real no matter what: the good the bad and the total shit.. so here we go.  I'll start by saying that I am physically and mentally ok. The initial shock was a lot to take in and I knew this was always basically inevitable, but I also kind of thought / hoped I had dodged the bullet. I found out the tumor was showing recurrence a few weeks ago. After my standard grace period of 24 hours for moping and sorrow, I immediately got back to work. Being that this is my second time around the block, I ...

Goodbye Summer

By
It's been a few weeks since I last post and a stressful slash amazing few weeks they have been.  The last post I did was from Portland.  I was visiting my family up there enjoying one final trip to the Pacific Northwest before Summer officially ends.  It was an amazing trip filled with adventure, memories, amazing scenery and most of all love.  Not being able to drive to my sisters homes whenever I want just to chat is often times frustrating since we are all so close as a family.  Getting to see them always makes me whatever stresses or worries I have diminish and I am able to forget about the 'C word' for a little bit.  My last trip closed with some really tough news that I was not expecting at all. When I started this whole journey I was introduced to and met some amazing people, including some new friends from all over the world.  Obviously I have yet to meet a lot of them in person, but we often chat via e-mail or text.  The young adult can...
