One Year Anniversay
One year ago today, almost to the hour, I was in surgery having a tumor removed from my head. At that time we didn’t know if it was low grade or high grade, though my physician suspected it was low grade. Had it been the grade 4 glioblastoma that 47% of adult...

I cannot believe March is already here!
