Two Year Tumorversary

I cannot believe 2 years have passed since I received those horrid MRI results.  Thinking back to that day it feels like such a long time ago.  But I still cannot believe that I have been dealing with all this crap for two years.  It is sad that not even a day goes by where I do not have to deal with side effects from the tumor, surgeries, medications, etc.  I was hoping that one day I would not have this brain tumor on my mind (figuratively or literally).  I feel like I should be "passed it."  But I do not see how that is possible if I still need to deal with it daily.  I try to not let it consume my life.  I can honestly say that I have done a lot of living these past two years.  It is nice to know that thinking about and dealing with this tumor has not prevented me from doing what I want.  Of course my goals and hopes have drastically changed from October 28, 2008, but I am able to make new ones.  Overall I feel good today- Good about where I am going and where I have been.  I still struggle with fear, pain, and worries but I try to keep my head up.  I am grateful for the great people that stayed and came into my life these two years.
