long overdue update
hey all! As some of you might remember, in August of 2013, I was diagnosed with a brain tumour and underwent the prescribed treatments. Those treatments were surgery to remove the tumour (during which I suffered a minor stroke) and radiation followed by chemotherapy.
Today I am happy to report that I am getting stronger and stronger all the time. I have residual vision loss and minor weakness from the stroke, but within the next month, I will be a 2 year survivor!

My dad had a brain tumor when I was 12, I am now 45 and he is still going strong.
