Reversal: When a Therapist Becomes A Brain Tumor Patient

In Sept 2005 I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I was just starting my professional career. I'm a 34 year old physical therapist that became a patient. I became someone I've spent years preparing to help. I wrote a book about my experiences as a young adult patient and physical therapist. My surgery left me with severe balance and coordination impairments. This slide show is my journey through life as a brain tumor survivor. The song is by my friend Dave's Son. Check out www.ericgalvezdpt.com to find out more about my story and order my book.
