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!

Rolling Into the OR
Just before 3:00pm Becky was rolled into the operating room for her brain surgery at the Oregon Health and Science University hospital. She impressed the anisthesiologist when she rattled off all the correct medical terminology in detail when asked about her procedure! Just before heading off, she was understandably nervous, but strong and ready. Now, we wait. The surgery is expected to take several hours and I'll update as soon as we hear anything! Thanks for reading... check back soon!
