My Dad has brain cancer- more specifically, Glioblastoma. I have refused to research this type of cancer/tumor specifically, as I know that if I researched Tylenol enough I would be terrified of the medicine. I do know small details regarding this type of tumor: It is extremely aggressive, more common than you would think, and not genetic.
No one knows why this type of cancer appears, although they have found it occurs in mostly males, around my Dad's age. My Dad's first, and one of his only questions regarding this type of cancer, was "Can I give this to my girls?"
Our battle has only been going since October 5, 2013- the day my Dad experienced a seizure in our kitchen...the day that changed all of our lives. I don't remember much of my life prior to the seizure, the diagnosis, the surgery or the start of treatment. I do know my life was centered around myself- what could make ME happy,making more money, and having a good time. But things change, people change, and you really find out what is important in life.
I want people to know how my Dad has changed my life, my family's life, and the daily struggles (and triumphs) we all experience. He has no idea I'm writing this blog, but I'm sure one day I will share it with him, share with him how he's been the most influential person in my life. He always told me "You'll never find a man as good as your Daddy." He's probably right.
