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.
