Hello and welcome to my blog. My name is Barb. Many of my close friends call me Barbie.
I am 52 years old, and I have a grade 2 atypical meningioma. I am 12 months into this "journey," 9 months post-surgery (partial resection).
I hope to provide some insight into my personal experience and help others who are struggling with their own diagnosis, treatment, or recovery. For me, this is also a post-operative "therapy," working on memory, cognition, and language.
Most days, my world still feels surreal. So this is simply a reflection of the world as I know it (or so I think).
