With the plethora of  the doctors, medicines, and hospital vacations, the struggle to stay positive was real. The journey produced some great stories and discoveries about the resilience of humans, and most especially herself. Some of the discoveries were surprising as were the people she met along the way that were cheering from the sidelines.Her story is about overcoming a brain tumor that was as elusive as it was deadly.     This is her story about her tumor diagnosis and how she climbed the mountain back to health.
