21 YEARS

So, here I am. A 21 Yr BSG survior!! Crazy...hard to understand, hard to know why...
I wonder...We are ready to celebrate the Florida Brain Tumor Association's 20th anniversary.
And still the dreaded GBM remains after 20 yrs the most common & dangerous brain tumor - 30% of all brain tumors. Not much has changed in all these yrs reguarding the dx of this beast.

The FBTA today is a major force in the brain tumor community, offering 5 support groups in Florida, a 3 day patient/family "Sharing Hope" brain tumor conference every year. We are making a differnce supporting & educating patients over the past 20 years. I am so pleased. I NEVER had the vision of what the FBTA has become, nor did I have the vision that I'd be given the extrodinary gift of time to watch my sons grow into incredible, rsponsible loving young men. Who would have thunk??
