Hi @Tiggersmom01 I noticed your post last night then went to answer and my battery ran out .
I just wanted to say welcome to Ex . I'm am so sorry to hear that you might have a small brain tumour. I understand this isn't a diagnosis yet , but that you might have a tumour ? No diagnosis yet tho right ? So I'm presuming the next step is to find out if there is indeed a small one or not at all and what type if there is one . Then a plan of action . The unknown is scary I know .
I am so happy to hear it's small if it is. It seems they found it early and that's a good thing but smoking won't help Hun . It won't take it away . It won't take the stress you are rightfully feeling btw or minimize it either . You asked what might help . I suggest walking if you are able .
Smoking won't change the facts and you don't know for certain yet so take a deep breath and slowly exhale the anxiety. We are here for you and your drs are , your family are and your friends are . You are not alone .
I am so glad you posted . This is scary and very real for you and I understand just only a little piece of what you might be going through but not like you who are going through it ((((Hugs))) I hope in some small way I can share some hope with you now .
We can support you in quitting smoking.
I'm just sharing an experience . Everyone is different and each tumour is different . The best advise and information comes from your physician and or specialists in that regard and I highly recommend you continue to work with them during this time .
My niece was diagnosed with a brain tumour about ten years ago now . Her tumour was large and situated on a tough spot . They did surgery , were not able to remove it all . She however, ten years later is doing amazing . She is still teaching school raising her two daughters who are now almost teenagers , yes they were little when diagnosed she had just had a baby . She is still doing the things she loves with an exception of a few risky things and of course carefully monitored by her doctor . She still lives today with part of that tumour and is doing well .
I have known several people in my life who have had horrible things like this happen but their positive attitude never let those things define them or drag them down . I don't know how they did it , wish I could pass that on to you and they pass it on to me because I think it's some of the best medicine ever to beat this . I think you have that same positive attire medicine within you just like they .
We are here for you in regard to quitting smoking . Quitting smoking will help you I think tremendously in this case so let us help and walk this journey with you . You came to the right place . Lets start the I quit smoking journey today in it , to win it .
Keep us updated and lets quit smoking here at Ex together.
