Comeback Mom from brain tumor to SURVIVOR fitness push up queen Eye of the Tiger Facial Paralysis

On May 13, 2009, I had a craniotomy (brain surgery) in hopes of removing a potentially fatal tumor growing around my brain stem. I woke up from surgery and found that I had facial paralysis, hearing loss and a cerebral spinal fluid leak. After 2 additional brain surgeries and 2 surgeries to help the facial paralysis, my physical body was weak and beaten down...but my spirit was strong and ready for a comeback. The "after" video clips were taken to celebrate my 2-year anniversary and my second chance at life. www.lifeconstructionzone.com

Hi, I was pleasantly surprised to hear back from you! : ) My husband is a 4 year survivor of glioblastoma. We've met several survivors and family of brain tumor survivors on FB. I posted your video on my FB page and sent a message to a young woman Lexie Seaver 27 yrs old and has a brain tumor encouraging her to contact you. My husband and I went to a benefit for her this past summer. She's a very strong young woman and I'm sure she'd appreciate any words of encouragement. Dee
