Welcome to My Personal Page
I am uniting with others to make a difference in the fight against brain tumors. I am passionate about this cause, so I’m taking action by asking for your help in this fight. You may know someone who has had a brain tumor and had the opportunity to learn about it, but I would like to share my journey with you. I have lost my wife and a coworker to this unyielding condition. With my wife we ignored signs and symptoms for 2 years. Things like, saying the wrong words (and quickly denying it), toothaches (which weren't toothaches), and headaches that come and go. There are many simple reason for any of the symptoms but together they should have raised alarms (but didn't). America's Best eyewear provided us with the vital info that finally lead to the diagnosis (for which I'm very grateful), and that gave us 18 more months together.
The coworker I lost simply fell one day and with a trip to the hospital was diagnosed with a tumor and left us in 4 months.
Do not take any day you have with a loved one for granted ! And thank you for reading my story as I hope it can help you be more aware of this terrible condition.
