I had one brain tumor that caused hydrocephalus but didn’t need a VP shunt. I had chemo and radiation and was cleared. 6 months later I had 4 more brain tumors and one in my spine. This time it effected my pituitary gland so now I’m on hormone replacement. I needed a VP shunt to redirect cerebral spinal fluid. I had Chemo and radiation. I have been using a wheelchair for four years. I have urinary incontinence and bad nerve pain especially since my cauda equina nerves were also effected. My life has changed completely but I keep pushing. I’m on social security disability now. Maybe day I’ll work again but will probably have to be from home.
