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 ...

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...

...and I thought it would get easier.

I always had this idea in my head of fighting like hell, winning my fight with cancer, moving on with my life and living happily ever after.  I guess I wasn't being too realistic with myself since my mentality from day one has been "Prepare for the worst, hope for the best."  Even before I abruptly ended all my treatments I realized that I needed to start working again.  My treatment dosages were being gradually reduced and other than the first morning after my chemo I was basically fully functional again.  I built up some debt that wasn't doing anything but getting higher and staying at home all alone everyday was getting really old.  After I stopped all Western treatments there was no doubt in my mind any longer, if I didn't find ways to stay busy I think I might lose my mind. I remained an employee of my previous employer and planned on returning back there upon completion of my treatment, but situations changed and I was no longer able to return.  Thi...
