When
I came home from the hospital without a good chunk of my skull (resected due to
an infection from my surgery) I yearned to find folks like me –brain tumor
victims who were fighting a battle against a seemingly relentless and demonic
disease.
Almost
through sheer luck, I then discovered an entire tribe of brutally honest,
utterly defiant and powerfully angry brain tumor and cancer bloggers. They were
sick; they were mad and they were going to tell the world about it.
One
of my favorite Bad-Ass Brain Tumor Bloggers
is Kaylin Andres. Her blog is sardonically entitled Cancer is Hilarious which, of course, means it’s not. As I’ve previously written, she writes about
her medical and health challenges with intimacy and rage and honesty that makes
me feel likes she’s talking to her best friend over coffee.
As
of Feb. 4th she was in the hospital and wrote wonderfully about her
latest surgery. Here’s a link to that posting: http://cancerisnotfunny.blogspot.com/
