Life is good | tumourgirl

Me, my brain, a tumour… You know, the usual…. December 10, 2014. Gotta love the falls…. Recently a friend of mine mentioned that a mutual friend of ours had asked her how I was doing. I asked her what she had told her and she said to me that she had told her that I was good. And honestly, that is the best thing that she could say. Because you know what? I am good. I’m good! Things are good with me, with my life, with my health. Most of my finished phoenix. Not ready to share him with the world just yet.

Me, my brain, a tumour… You know, the usual…. June 13, 2014. I was going to include a post-surgery selfie or a picture of my head staples but decided it was one step too far…. 8217; and he told me that I did. He told me that I it was incredibly low-grade and I had all the mutations that would make me responsive to chemotherapy when the time came for me to get treatment. All good things. Well, in the grand scheme of cancer, they were all good things…. This is very exciting news in my world. Well, the YA d...

Me, my brain, a tumour… You know, the usual…. Adventures in Tinder, Part 3: Even Tinder has standards. August 14, 2014. No screencaps today, for obvious reasons. Got a theme going on here. Some men seem to think it’s a totally cool thing to just send it to you. Just out of the blue, you check your email or a text and all of a sudden, you’re like ‘Hey! I’m at work, in an open concept office and there’s a picture of a guy’s junk on my screen. Awesome! Ask people if they want to see your peen? Moments is li...

Me, my brain, a tumour… You know, the usual…. The Cancerversary, Year Two. June 11, 2015. Playa Ventana in Costa Rica. I’m here, sitting in my office at work going over my Facebook memories from the past few years. That’s a handy little app, isn’t it? I guess I’ve counted my cancerversary as the date I was first told I had cancer, but today could also be counted as it, I guess. Maybe this is just my cancerversary week? Are there rules for this? I really hope there aren’t rules for this…. Me, selfish me, ...

My stay in the EMU, told mostly through socks | tumourgirl

Me, my brain, a tumour… You know, the usual…. My stay in the EMU, told mostly through socks. January 16, 2015. I’m coming in to get the electrodes put on and settle in. I’m wearing my panda socks to brighten the mood. They help. A little. Slightly stretched out and distorted pandas, but pandas all the same! The eye in the sky. Neuro-psych tests and woolies. Four hours of brain teasers and word games make me angry and irritable. But my woolies are helping and keeping me kind of comfortable. Left the floor...
