It is alright

     I have been asked to recount my "Journey down the rabbit hole" for MD Anderson.  I knew I had forgotten important things, so I asked my family for what they remembered and thank god I did. All of this was blocked out because it was just to painful for my psyche to deal with. I poked the sleeping dog instead of letting it lie and now it is all coming back and allowing me to get closure.  Closure on the fact that it happened, I fought like hell and that is why I am still here.
   
     Never settle for a bad outcome.  Shop around until you find a doc that you love and trust enough to put your life in his or her hands because with all surgery, especially brain surgery they will have you life in their hand.  It is SO incredibly important for the journey to begin with trust and faith.

     Snarla was sneaky, when the docs first checked us (The team of Ange and Snarla) out their initial prognosis was that she was non-aggressive, but in a very bad spot.  I started listening to my body and kept on badgering while they symptoms got worse.  She was growing and I knew it.  None of my docs were incompetent, but they were mistaken about the tenacity of Snarla.
 
 Thats it for now.  I'll be back, you've been warned.
Toodles!
