Hi Avery

Glad to see a response :-) The site is still building members and the group is still small, but I am hoping we'll take off and find an exchange of ideas, experiences and new friends. I have epilepsy and a brain tumour, but these things don't define who we are - I'm hoping we'll all get to know the person and not the disability.

Welcome :-)

Chris

Hi Chris :)

How long have you been dealing with both if I may ask? Are the 2 related?

Best,
Avery

Hey Avery

They are indeed related, epilepsy is a symptom of the tumour - but stuck with both for life and has taught me valuable lessons. Amazing how different life looks now. The tumour I have had for a decade and the epilepsy, just one year. Going for surgery this year - finally!

My best, Chris :)

Hi Marc

Ditto to Avery's comment. What are you working on? We could promote or discuss it here. The group is growing, hopefully the word will get out beyond this site and attract people who need a place to chat, meet, etc.

Chris :)
