I guess the fight began in third grade when I started to get a lot of headaches. I stopped growing and gaining weight, I was only 49pounds and 49inches. My doctor’s assistant told my mom that kids get migraines. He put me on a high blood pressure pill. It stopped the headaches but I was tired and weak all the time.1
The doctor’s assistant did regular blood work and a cat scan which both came back normal. The doctor’s assistant told my mom that I should see a shrink because he thought I was sticking my fingers down my throat. My mom fired him on the spot! 2
We went to a new doctor who did all the same tests but she then referred us to Doctor Ian Paul. This doctor listened to us and then he did hormonal blood work. The blood work came back and was off the charts. He then ordered an MRI “Stat” which showed a brain tumor the size of a pinkie nail (which is big). 3
On December 4th 2001 I had my brain tumor removed. It took them almost two years to find the brain tumor! After the tumor was removed I had no hormones so I was put on a lot of pills and even one shot. My mom thinks I’m really brave but I am just trying to live my life day by day. 4
I always do wonder why god chose me do go though this and I think I figured it out, god has a plan for all of us and he knows we can handle it if we try our hardest and do our best. I’m pretty sure god is proud of me for the way I handled this challenge and am continuing to handle it. 5
