There's been a lot going on. Bad ovary that will be removed on Feb 22. It's been giving me a hard time since New Year's Eve. Ready to get it out and move on with a less painful life.
And then this: it's official: My family is broken. I now have a 2nd cousin (?) 16 yr old that has a tumor on his pituitary gland.
Here's the brain cancer cluster that is my family:
Maternal Grandfather - dead brain cancer
Maternal Grandfather > Daughter/My Aunt > Daughter/My Cousin> Son - 16 with tumor on his pituitary gland
Maternal Grandfather > Daughter/Mom > ME - brain cancer
Maternal Grandfather > Daughter/My Aunt - deceased brain cancer
Paternal Grandfather - dead brain cancer
Paternal Grandfather > Son/My Uncle - deceased not from cancer but had some type of tumor on his brain as a teenager
This makes me very glad I don't have any kids to pass this onto.

Nannypea was diagnosed with a Malignant Brain Tumor on October 7, 2008. It was removed Oct 9 and then followed by 6 weeks of radiation combined with chemotherapy. The chemotherapy treatment will continue for another year for approximately 1 week per month. The part of the brain affected (left frontal lobe) controls speech and word choice - among other things: the right side of my face and arm, random seizures, etc. This makes life very interesting!
