February 2020

Brandon's journey began January 9th, 2008, my day of diagnosis, and can be summed up in one phrase, “learning how to walk again.” Due to the location of my tumour, coordination and walking were my most prominent symptoms. Before my diagnosis, my quality of life had declined so drastically that I began to think my parents did not love me anymore. So much so, that when I was diagnosed, I remember feeling relief that a lot of the things I was going through were not my fault.
