Here is a 50 minute video presented by the Central New Jersey Brain Tumor Support Group.  These are brain tumor survivors who deal with the same circumstances we do if you too are facing a brain tumor diagnosis.  They share their stories and these are very positive stories – people who are facing grade 3 and 4 brain tumors who are getting along well.  I would encourage you to watch this.

It is amazing if you haven’t ever been around other survivors or formed relationships with others how there is this common zeal for life.  We have a different perspective, now.  I have talked about this before.  It’s not that I didn’t appreciate life before – I just look at life differently and I live every day more fully.  Put simply, when your life is placed in jeapardy and could be taken from you, your perspective is rearranged for you a little bit.  And, in my view, that’s not exactly a bad thing.  There is positive in all of this.

It’s about looking forward.  You can’t get stuck and stay in one place – be stagnant and dwell on the diagnosis for example.  Ever try to sit on a bike without going forward?  Doesn’t work – it falls over.  We have to move forward.  The survivors on this video are all moving forward.  Check it out.
