The Schwannoma Song
« on: March 03, 2013, 04:59:57 pm »
There's nothing funny about our tumors and I'm not trying to make light of anybody's condition but keeping one's sense of humor through adversity helps keep one's sanity.

So here it is - the Schwannoma song.

9/21/16 12mm x 7mm x 5mm
3/23/15 12mm x 5.5mm x 4mm
3/13/14 12mm x 6mm x 4mm
8/1/13 14mm x 5mm x 4mm (Expected)
1/22/13 12mm x 3mm (Gamma Knife)
10/10/12 11mm x 4mm x 5mm

Have to share...

Was playing the Schwannoma Song very loudly, all of a sudden my dog is sitting behind me hauling!!!   ;D

Poor thing, I probably had the volume up so loud it hurt his ears.

You had me going for a minute while I pictured a dog driving a semi.

Then I realized you meant "howling."

This is hillarious.  I also have to laugh at my condition or else I'll go crazy.  I've nicknamed by schwannoma/AN, "Timmy the Tumor."  It has a better ring to it than Claude or Fred.
