In November 2012, my wife Melissa was diagnosed with a brain tumor...grade three brain cancer. I started blogging the day we found out...talking about life, cancer, family, and whatever is on my mind.

Disability with Benefits!
Becoming disabled is tough for any person, especially young people. I recently discovered a nugget...a benefit, if you will, to being disabled.
Did you know you could apply for a free Lifetime Access Pass for our National Parks and Recreation Areas by simply being disabled?
Just click the link below...fill out the application and pay $10 for processing and postage.

Found this blog post about Chemo Brain...and yes, it is very, very real.
Knowing and understanding that is vital if you or a loved one has brain cancer.

Computer Woes...
You may have noticed a drop-off on posts...that is because both of our computers are down for the count. Until I can afford a solution or find a replacement, posts will be few and far between.
Please let me know if you can help.

Update! September 2015
Life is still chugging along. Another school year has began, along with planning for Christmas.
All is well in our Brain Cancer world health wise....still battling head aches, nausea, and things, but dealing. Living on less income has been a real challenge. It makes we wish we had saved more money. The fact that we are still barely getting by on far less income lets me know we could have definitely spent less and save more before cancer.
I know, now, I appreciate kindness and those special small moments more...honestly, it is the one thing I think cancer gives you. I wouldn't call it "clarity" by any means, but there is a noticeable difference on how I react to seeing true kindness and those moments that make you smile, like a good picture or something you kid does.
