The difference between this time and all those other times is the fact that today i felt the need more than any other time for me to get the word out there about what I've been going through. I currently have cancer which is located in multiple places in my brain and in my spine.<br /><br />The cancer first appeared 3 years ago when i was a student and University of Missoui - Columbia, aka Mizzou. I was nealing the end of my sophomore year and started to notice a problem with my eyes, considering i knew multiple eyedoctors back home that my sister and step-sister worked at i figured i would go to them, but as it progressively got worse i went to the student medical center and then Mizzou's hospital, and came to find out the reason for my double vision and other problems i didn't really notice (because i was so worried about my eyes). <br /><br />The first doctors thought I had <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myasthenia_gravis">Myastenia Gravis</a>. but the lesions they thought were related to that condition slowly grew and they discovered it was "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germinoma">Germinoma</a>" Brain Tumors and the three years since that day have been an on and off hell which included things such as brain tumor reoccurance, problems within my family, problem holding a job, problems with people i thought were family, among many many others i would love to get to right now but will have to do at a different day as my eyes aren't seeing very well today and my shoulder fells like it is slowly being drilled into. But if you read this please come back because i would love to share my journey with you.Nathan Halbachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05882843112536189308noreply@blogger.com8
