I was listening to a very interesting podcast today about a woman who also had a golf ball sized tumor on her pituitary gland and was so struck by how much I related to her experience that I actually stopped in my tracks mid run to kind of calm myself...I still can't come to really understanding the fact that I have a tumor in my brain and rather than being a bystander, looking on in or reading about some poor soul with a brain tumor,  I have a brain tumor... Thankfully my tumor is benign but it still feels surreal and just listening to how I have had the same symptoms ... including the total lack of libido (can you see me blushing through my typing?) is just bizarre...
