I'll keep this short, I promise!!!In 1994, I was on active duty in the U.S. AirForce, when I noticed some unusual symptoms -numb fingers, vision problems, slobbering on mypillow at night (disgusting!), lethargy, and alot of staring off at nothing. Oh, then there was the seizure.I was misdiagnosed by the military doctors fortwo years. They kept telling me that there wasnothing wrong - which was what I wanted to hear! Then there was that seizure.I had the seizure at home, on my couch. 911 wasnot called, and I came out of it OK. But, I knewsomething was wrong. I found the best doctoraround - she ordered an MRI... "A large mass" ( 4th ventricular ependymoma).Three months in the hospital. Craniotomy (99+%),radiation (fractionated, I got the full dose - no chemo), blood clots, tracheatube, infections, pneumonia, PEG tube, andmaybe worst of all - those military nurses! (actually, they were very good)That was springtime, 1995Since then, I have retired, became thefacilitator of two online support groups ( the adult ependymoma and spine tumor online support group - part of T.H.E. Brain Trust, ) ,andco-facilitator of an in-person group here in New Jersey ( The Monmouth and Ocean County Brain Tumor Support Group). I havebeen to brain tumor conferences in three states(so far), I have written an article about BTsthat was published in a local newspaper, I haverequested my mayor declare Brain Tumor AwarenessWeek for his city (which he did), I havetraveled to Washington, D.C. to speak to electedofficials about brain tumors, and maybe someother things too (you see, I don't remember so good anymore).I have double vision (corrected by prismlenses), balance problems, memory problems, andother things (I told you I forget things!)But, I am Alive!!!So now, I drive slower than I used to, I notice more, I enjoy every day and - I appreciate Life!!!Update: 6/7/2008 I was highlighted on CNNUpdate: 2/20/2011As of this date, I remain (thank God) tumor free. While not deficiency free, my quality of life is very high. More than ever, I am sure that having a positive attitude is paramount to ones happiness - whether they are a survivor or not!Update 2/28/2012In January (the 27th, actually), I celebrated my 17-year "Tumorversary"!!! I am very blessed in that I have experienced no new deficiencies since my original "survivor" story was written. Mine could recur, but my wife keeps telling me that there is nothing in my head so I am going with that!BruceUpdate: 1/28/2013My update is that I am still here! - and that January 27th, 2013 was my 18th "Tumorversary" date!Update: 7/10/2013As of my last MRI in October, 2012, I am "clear".
