I was 13 years old when i was diagnosed with a Brain tumour. No family history, and no illness like this in the family. We were all shocked. I was put into Sick kids hospital for young children where i would undergo 7 hours of surgery. 7 hours later i was out and i didnt feel different at all. The next day the doctors had good news, my tumour was benign that i was going to be okay. I was one lucky kid to have survived surgery and one lucky kid to be still living today. It is unfortunate for those young children out there suffering from cancerous brain tumours. I wasnt even fully recovered when my younger brother was diagnosed with stage 4 hodgkins lymphoma. He had to undergo chemotherapy and radiation, during it all watching him go through it but i knew as his big sis i needed to be strong for him. He is now a strong and healthy 16 year old boy who faught it. Life is a climb, but the view is great. Just remember you hit rough patches in your life, but never to give up.

Hello
I am 25 years old . I was diagnosed of brain tumor . I had to undergo a surgery. I was detected of Pilocytic Astrocytoma grade-1 .I never had symptoms until 2 months before operation.My left arm was numb , i used to drag my left leg while walking and the left side of my face had a slight palci(partial paralysis). The doctors have told me i would not need radio/chemo therapy. I am yet to get a CT done after my operation to check if any residue is left.Now i'm perfectly alright.My only worry is recurrence and life span. I was planning to get married next year but was detected last month of this tumor . It was in the primary stage. I think the most important thing here is one must have a strong will power which has worked for me throughout my surgery and the support of loved ones. My boyfriend has been my strength through this and stuck by me. I'm really grateful to him . And my parents and friends have been very supportive. One must not think of it as end of the world but fight it out and come out strong.I hope i can help those who are experiencing this and help them come out of this emotional trauma.

When my daughter was 18 mos. old she was diagnosed with a Grade 1 Juvenille Pilocytic Astrocytoma on her brain stem. They removed a 5 cm. mass but were unable to get all of it due to the location of the tumor, but was told the majority of the tumor was resected. My daughter is now a thriving 6 year old, goes to school and most people are shocked when they find out she once had a brain tumor! She just had her 5 year tumr free birthday in January and her neurosurgeon has decreased her check ups to once a year. Im sure you will be fine too!
