I am starting to connect with other cancer survivors, including some living with brain tumors. It is so helpful to hear people's stories and to talk with people who've been there. I joined a support group that meets soon.

I haven't been posting nearly as much as I used to, because of the pain and fatigue, and until today because of hand tremors that made typing exhausting.

Thanks! I plan on taking it easy for a good long while

It is SO good to be home again! Before I left JMount Vernon rehab, they moved the MANY staples fro my head. That... HURT. They led me out in a procession with music and pom-poms and let me ring a bell, and gave me a sign signed by all the nurses. It was aq wonderful departure.
