I am so grateful to have 3 new members this week on the facebook site for vagal schwammies. Anytime I read of stories, it makes me appreciate all that I have going for me. Everytime I turn on the news, it makes me appreciate all that I have going on with my schwammy.
The once in a while discomfort that I feel is nothing compared to losing someone in my life or having my child sick. Once again, I am thankful I have this little schwammy growing in my head compared to what could be happening.
Actually I think it is at a standstill. Not growing and not shrinking. Just there.
They really are ugly! No wonder people want it cut out. I remember feeling that way myself. But, compared to the aftermath of most surgeries, I felt radiation was best for me. I am glad I chose that route, even tho I am not "tumour free".
I received my bill again for this site. $45 bucks a year to run this schwannoma site. Such a small price to pay for such a big way it pays forward.
Had to share the picture below as it is of Rick Hageman and myself. One of the first people I met online who had a vagal schwannoma. He had cyberknife surgery as I did. First in the USA and I was the first in Canada. Such a humbling moment when we met and it won't be our last! A big thanks to Rick and all he has done for our little big world of Schwammyville! :)
Below we are pictured on his boat as he vacations up here in Canada only 3 hours from my town.
