Yikes - I've never even done a blog post or a Steemit post about it directly, although indirectly everything I write about relates to stuff I learned from it.

It was a benign rather than cancerous tumour and it's still in the middle of my brain like a big lump. But it's dead and doesn't grow anymore.

I was told in 2002 that it would kill me within a year. It was a long time ago and essentially as much as possible I just ignore all memory of it. That is my coping strategy.

I tried dozens of different treatments - one of the first was a vegetarian diet - after about six weeks I felt weak and ill and wanted to eat my own arm, so that was a fail!

Next I tried auto-urine therapy :)

I suspect it was originally set in motion by head injuries I had in 1994 - those could potentially be a Steemit post too!
