Ed replied to Paul Gerrard's discussion sugery, for better or worse?"As I reread this it made me think. My Father died on 1/13/12 Friday, when I went to visit him(2X a year) he didn't know me, he would recognize my Mom about half the time. He had dementia for the last 3 years of his life, was it his…"
Ed replied to Paul Gerrard's discussion sugery, for better or worse?"Here are my thoughts, everybody makes decisions in their lives, some good, some not so good. Some we have control over, others we don't, like a car accident, we get to the hospital and the Drs' do what they have to to save our lives, and…"
Ed commented on maria toscano's blog post Trying to be strong"Maria,
I can relate to your story, I'd be fine one moment then the panic would set in, it sucked. I talked to my Dr and nurse and now I take setreline(sp) it's a generic Prozac but it has worked for me. I take Loramzapan(sp) when I feel a…"

Religious Discussions
This is an area to discuss religion. You might have been religious pre-diagnossis, but now you aren't. Or you might be even more religious now. How has religion changed (or not) since your Brain Tumor Diagnosis?

Hello Edward and welcome. I started this site because I had such difficulty finding benign brain tumor survivors, like myself. I'm a long term survivor (but have many side-effects): diagnosed in 1985 at age 11. Besides connecting with survivors, we can exchange medical info, get support, etc. There is a Q & A with a neurosurgeon and a nutritionist under the Resources tab. Also there are many different groups such as religious discussions, migraines, seizures, depression and anxiety, etc. Thanks again for joining. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
