The Beginning - Day One

On November 7, 1992 in started having a very peculiar type of “seizures.” From one moment to the next, I could not speak. If I tried, all that would come out was a stammering “uuuuuh” sound. I also could not make my right arm do anything but go up and down. They only lasted anywhere from 15 to 45 seconds. I was soon diagnosed with a primary brain cancer called and Astrocytoma Grade II, one of several types of gliomas. This blog is the story of that experience and a continuing journal of my current struggles.
