It was a just over a month ago that I was having dizziness and pain.  Kinda funny how when it stops, you don't notice it is gone.  Not until you ponder some days and think,,, wow, I'm feeling pretty good!
So glad that is where I'm at today :)

Oh, and by the way.... guess who's getting married!!

Yup, me!  I love the fact he is going to marry me after being together for 8 yrs. 

When I was first diagnosed 5 yrs ago, I sat him down and said "when we met, you didn't foresee this as much as I didn't.  I don't want you to think you have to stay with me.  I am giving you every opportunity to move forward and find someone else."... he let me know we were in this together and he has proven himself right!  He has attended every doctor appt and radiation therapy I have been to. 

He massages my neck up into my jaw area when I have throbbing pain.  I firmly believe that without my guy, I would not be where I am right now.  He has been my rock.  I am very fortunate to have him in my life and now we are sealing the deal. 

Since I had my first symptoms on APRIL 12th 2009 which sent me to the hospital for my very uphill battle for a diagnosis, I am calling April 12th of every year, NATIONAL SCHWANNOMA DAY!
Hug someone who needs it, ask them about their tumour even tho they look ok, it's what is going on inside that needs the hugs.  Embrace all those around you who are supporters for you.  
Remember, April 12th,, National Schwannoma Day! xo
