Brain Tumor Goes Hiking

I am still having continuous problems with headaches and endurance. Two years back, my doctors would tell me that I would have to discover the 'new me'. I am starting to accept that how I feel now may be the 'new me' , and I cannot let this poor state hold me back from the things I love to do. In this spirit, My Son and I, with my BFF and his Son went camping and hiking over the weekend. I was very worried that I would not be able to do this, or would pay the consequences like I did on previous smaller excursions. Good news - the weather was gorgeous, the trip went off without a hitch, and I am still standing the day after. Brain Tumors can go camping!

    Wow! Good for you! Glad to see that you look good and are continuing to enjoy yourself and not letting a BT rob you of the joy you spend with your son. May you have many more wonderful camping trips.

    I see you and Pookie are grooming the next generation of "Brokebacking". Good to see you out there doing what you love again!
