Back in 2005, I was diagnosed with a very rare brain tumor. A pilomyxoid astrocytoma. Doctors believed that even with surgery and treatment that I would only live a year or 2 more. After brain surgery, I went through radiation treatment which killed the remaining tumor tissue, but resulted in me being left with mild short term memory loss. I was 12 at the time of diagnosis and I am now 30.

The type of memory loss I have is called Mild Cognitive Impairment

The Make-A-Wish Foundation granted my last wish, which was a trip to Hawaii. My family and I went to Maui.
