Not even in my wildest
dreams would I ever have imagined I’d be introducing myself to a message board
dedicated to patients, families and friend of persons with brain cancer but
here I am...
Hello! I’m Sunny. My 61 year
old Dad was diagnosed with GBM IV in Mar 08 after suffering from what the
doctors thought was either a stroke or a MS brain lesion in early February. A decision
was made by my Dad with the help of his “team” which includes his wife of 33 years, beautiful daughter (that's me), two sons along with their significant others, brothers, sisters and friends that he would demand the neurosurgeon to be as aggressive
as possible with his treatment. On March 27th, the neurosurgeon was
able to remove approximately 50% of the tumor. After a 16 day stay at the hospital
and rehab center, he was sent home to begin radiation and chemo. My Dad has two
weeks left to go with radiation and he is feeling great. A little tired and
wobbly, nothing we can’t handle.
The biggest supporter on his team is my daughter Sunnygirl who just happens to be Grandpa's best friend. There is nobody or anything in this world that can pull him out of funk better and faster than Sunnygirl.
My Dad’s spirits are
extremely high and he has found comfort in posting inspirational messages on
his Caring Bridge website.
I know there will be good days and bad days. Today, was a good day and I feel blessed for that.
Blessing to you all,
Sunny
