In March of 2021, at the age of 18, I had three seizures out of the blue one afternoon and was rushed to the ER. They discovered that I had a brain tumor, but not just one – there were 11 tumors in all on my brain and spine. I was rushed into brain surgery to remove the largest tumor two days later. I spent two weeks in the ICU after surgery followed by two more weeks in the hospital CCU. After 32 days at my initial treatment hospital, I was sent to a specialty hospital for another 18 months of treatment. Our family relocated to be near the specialty hospital during my treatment and we finally got to go home in September of 2022. We traveled back and forth to the specialty hospital just about every month for checkups and because the seizures I developed were getting worse. In March of 2024, they found a new spot and I was brought back in May to recheck. It had grown and was again cancer…I had relapsed. I am now back at the specialty hospital doing treatment for the relapse and will be here long term.
