New beginnings start out as an idea, with hopes and dreams. My biggest dream is to help spread the word of the signs and symptoms of brain tumors.
Since I am a meningioma survivor, and have lived through the confusion of all the symptoms before being diagnosed. I can truthfully say there is a need for the education and awareness of the possibility that someday even you or someone you love will someday hear, " you have a brain tumor ".
Although usually a slow growing brain tumor such as the meningioma is often benign, the location and size is just as dangerous as a malignant one.
My dream is for earlier detection and treatment for those affected. That means not only to educate the public, but doctors as well. Anyone having strange or unusual symptoms should at least get the attention of an understanding and caring physician who would at least try to rule out the possibility of a brain tumor.
