History:

My name is Beth and I was treated for a benign brain stem glioma in 1985. I'm amazed that I'm still alive & breathing since I have so many side-effects. However, I'm grateful to still be here.

Many years, decades in fact, have passed since my treatment and I never came across anyone who has had the same health experiences as myself. I wanted to meet a survivor who had a benign brain tumor. I was always led to brain cancer whenever I did an online search for benign brain tumors and started becoming very discouraged.

I decided that I wanted a website for benign brain tumor survivors. I thought that it would be fantastic to go to only one website and be able to meet and chat with other survivors who can understand your experiences, your side-effects, your world.

I'd like to thank my friend and Junior High School prom date, Lee Semel, for inspiring me to start a website. I also would like to thank my dad. We haven't always been so close, but we have connected a lot since I've started this website. He has been a constant support with all of the information that I'm trying to share about my, or anyone else's, benign brain tumor experience. Without question, my mom has been there for me throughout my entire brain tumor experience. She offered to shave her head during my radiation treatment when I was losing my hair, made that summer of radiation treatment more like a vacation, and spent thirteen years taking me to the ER for my untreated facial pain ( Trigeminal Neuralgia). I would have had no will to live if it wasn't for her. I'm alive today because of her dedication and love. Thank you for always being there for me.
