Brain tumors strike again

Mar 30, 2005 01:36

Johnnie Cochran died from a brain tumor. Not that he meant anything to me, but whoa. Someone dying from what I had is a punch in the gut. I don't consider some accomplishment to have survived mine. More like dumb luck. Or the grace of God? I haven't figured it out yet ( Read more... )

You should consider it an accomplishment to have beaten cancer!! You have been through SO much more than I can even imagine. Keep staying strong and I'll sure keep on praying for ya!!

It didn't sound mushy. :) And the prayers mean alot to me.

I guess I don't consider it an accomplishment because I haven't conciously done anything to help "cure", prevent, or even make it better. I lucked out that they caught it before it made me completely blind. I lucked out that it turned out to not be serious enough to need chemo or radiation. I lucked out that an eye doctor finally sent me to get an MRI and see what was wrong with me. So that pretty much means I lucked out that it didn't kill me.

None of that stuff was anything I did. If anything, I was the one too dumb to ask for an MRI sooner when I knew something big was wrong.
