In January 2020, I was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2). 4 weeks later, I received my first craniotomy, followed by 6 weeks of daily radiation treatment. Last year, in June 2022, I received my second craniotomy in which 2 tumors were removed. I currently live with 14 tumors, and have had two craniotomies and one spinal tumor removal. While living with the symptoms caused by these tumors is not easy, I've learned how to make the best of the situation and hope to enlighten more people about NF and brain tumor awareness. I’m looking forward to celebrating HOPE with all my teammates!
