Brain Surgery

As most of you know they found breast cancer in May, and since then I have been doing rounds of chemo. I had finished chemo and had now started radiation. It was then, I started suddenly getting these intense headaches and immediately started complaining to the doctor. I would get as headache and proceed to throw up due to brain swelling. Turns out there was a cancerous tumor in my brain. They did several MRI’s to confirm the tumor and were able to remove the tumor. I was under the knife for about 7 hrs due to complications. I believe that’s the Max you can be under brain surgery because they are holding me just in case I have later neurological issues. It takes me awhile to form sentences and comprehend messages. My swelling has gone down immensely, and according to my doctors I should look far worse but I’m hanging in there and I hope to join the drawing community eventually :) love you all, and I hope you all continue to make the earth brighter. I will do my best to respond but I’m heavily drugged. They finally got my correct dosage of drugs. So I’m not in so much pain anymore! Cheers to correct dosage of pain meds!
