I am a single mother of three girls. I have a BA in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. Having been diagnosed with an Oligodendroglioma brain tumor in 2002 when pregnant with my third child, I have since redirected my work efforts to raising money for cancer research and medicare reform acts on Capitol Hill. I am 43 years old and have undergone two craniotomies since that time, my most recent in 2009. My tumor has now progressed to a grade 3, mixed Glioma with aggressive biological behavior, and is centered in my motor strip. For many of you unfamiliar with this type of tumor, Ted Kennedy was the recipient of such a mass. It has been my goal to educate, advocate, and continue my learning process about this breed of cancer.
