I was diagnosed with a brain tumor right before my 2nd birthday. Prior to that I had been in and out of the hospital at least 20 times with pneumonia. They discovered I had swallowing problems and an MRI eventually found the tumor was causing my swallowing problems. I had a feeding tube inserted on my 2nd birthday but was able to have it removed when I was 5. Since I was 2 until 10 I only had to have my tumor monitored because it wasn't growing or changing shape. When I was 10, they discovered it was growing and I started Chemo on December 26, 2012. I endured 14 months of chemo to stop the tumor from growing and it worked!! I'm am officially done with treatment!!! Since I still have my tumor and always will, I will continue to undergo MRI's my entire life, but that's okay. I'm strong and I'm a fighter!!
