Hi all, I just wanted to introduce myself. I was diagnosed with a Grade 2 Glioma in 2015 at age 38 and just after I had my second child. I had an awake craniotomy to remove the tumour (yes! awake! 😳) and all MRIs since have shown no recurrance of tumour. While it is great that the tumour was removed, I'm still quite shaken by the whole experience, the possibility of recurrance to Grade 3 or 4 and the fear of dying younger than I'd expected. I try to live in the present moment but still get frightened of what may lie ahead. Occasionally, the reality of what I've been through hits me and it feels a bit like grief. I thought it would be good to reach out to others who know what living with cancer, and fear of its recurrence is like. cheers, Melissa
