    Another MRI is clear!

    Had my MRI done last Wednesday, and this Wednesday my radiologist and oncologist both confirmed that there was no visual signs of any tumor regrowth, to go along with my continuing to not have any of the symptoms I was experiencing prior to my July surgery last year! Still going well! I'll be getting a new shipment of Temodar pills this Friday, and will starting the fourth five day course

    Shingles, yay!

    So apparently the Chicken Pox virus that has been idle in my body ever since my early childhood caught sight of all the cancer therapy I've been doing and went "would be a shame if someone took advantage of a slight downturn in your immune system," and then I break out in Shingles on the right side of my head at age 37. They usually only START worrying about that at age 50+! What a blessed start

    AM CYBORG NAO

    Nah it's actually not as cool as that. I'm STILL alive, last MRI was clear, still no tumor related symptoms, and I've begun my second round of chemo wherein I take double or triple doses for 5 days in a row once a month for six months. The "LOLCYBORG" bit comes from a little device called Optune, which generates a Tumor Treating Field through basically all of my brain as long as it's attached and

    HAHA NO BIG DEAL

    Holy shit I got back from my post surgery checkup appointment with the surgeon.

    Surgeon: "You were pretty out of it."
    Me: "Yeah I don't remember much two days before the surgery, I figure I must've been on some good medications at the time."
    Surgeon: "Uh no, actually you were on death's door and your brain just stopped working basically."
    Me: "...OH."

A week since my brain surgery! · 9:30pm Jul 17th, 2023

Yep it's officially been a week since I got my brain tumor removed! So far, I'm getting better bit by bit, although I'm worried about the biopsy not coming back yet. Right now I'm trying to write again, although I have to say thanks to my recent years of gathering head issues I've hit a point where I'm often forgetting the correct word for things in a way that I previously haven't. Also, I've been in the mental spot where I can't find the ABSOLUTE PERFECT words to use, or the BLISFULLY PRECISE way to describe things while writing, which is one of the things that most often keeps me from trying to write at all. I'm hoping now that I am on Prozac (aka Fluoxetine) I'll be able to overcome that desire to not write for lack of perfection, and just write even if it is far, FAR from some imagined perfection. I feel like being able to put out stories is more important than waiting forever for some imagined writing perfection. So the thing I'm working on right now is a backstory for Ruined Forever, and in light of the things that have happened to me recently, I've just started chipping away on it day by day and not stressing over sitting there not writing forever trying to determine the PERFECTION WORDING to use.
