Welcome to my journey with Neurofibromatosis type 2, known as NF2, a genetic mutation which causes numerous tumors to grow within my brain and spine. Since 2004, I have undergone radiosurgery and 3 brain surgeries for 7 brain tumors. Life with NF2 is definitely a test of faith and a challenge to keep positive. Join me on my harrowing adventure to keep active and live life to the fullest!

Best Evening So Far
Great news from the recovery room! When my mom and I came back to the room, Harley, Scott, and Denise were all there and Becky was talking like a magpie! It was so great to see her smiling and feeling better. She was finally able to hold down some dinner (roast beef and potatoes, and later a snack of applesauce) and there were several beautiful flower bouquets on the window sill! She's still in some pain and has double vision but she's doing much better. The new nausea medication she's on, Reglan, seems to be working better than any of the others they've tried. It's also been nice to get feedback on the comments board... thank you Gale! She was very comforted to hear your double vision after the surgeries went away and that you were so confident in Dr. Delashaw. Well, it looks like we're going to settle in for another night, one where Becky hopefully can get some good, quality shut eye. Check back and have a great night!

It is so helpful to read the blog everyday knowing how she is doing and how everyone is there for her! Tell Beck I am thinking of her!!!!

Hang in there Becky. I had double vision too after my surgery and it went away after a while. In fact, they used to tape one eye so I could do my P.T. It looks like you're in good hands and I'm sure you'll have a speedy recovery.
Talk to you soon.
