Somehow
I always think of Ependymoma attacking young, innocent children. The CERN Foundation’s latest newsletter,
though, features a story about a newly wed 38 year woman who learns that she
has Ependymoma.Ependymoma is a rare type of primary brain or spinal cord tumor
found in adults and children. Primary brain and spinal cord tumors are those
that start in the central nervous system (CNS).
Here’s
how the article starts out: “Last March was the happiest time of my life. I had
only been married eight months and my husband and I were trying to get pregnant
with our first baby. We were committed to an intense workout program to get in
the best shape of our lives before I got pregnant. We were so excited for what
the future held and nothing was going to get in our way.”
Then
she found out that she had tumor in her spinal cord! For the rest of this
heart-wrenching story go to: https://cern-foundation.org/?page_id=5248
