During the month of December I was diagnosed with another small lesion on my Brain Stem.  Since then I’ve started Chemotherapy which last for a year, 5 days of Chemo Pills and then 3 weeks off.

Just another wrench thrown into the mix, remaining positive, the 1st session was not easy, but the 2nd has been a lot easier.  And 10 more to go!

Visited the CNE the other evening.  Luckily didn’t over-indulge and try the Cronut burger that made lots of people ill.

Well, it’s been way too long and a LOT has happened.

April 5th, 2012 my Life changed dramatically as I was Diagnosed with a Brain Stem Tumor. I had an Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy surgery performed to drain a build up of an excess of Brain Fluid that was building due to the Tumor blocking the normal path for drainage. A few weeks after my Surgery I went through 30 days of Radiation Treatment on my Tumor. During this time I was on Catabolic Steroids, which screwed with my sleeping patterns, made me gain a lot of weight and generally were the worst thing. But provided relief of the swelling on my Brain. The following months were filled with 3 month MRI check-ups to ensure the Tumor was not growing. Fast forward to today, I’m doing a LOT better, my MRI schedule has been moved up to 6 month Check-ups. The Tumor has shrunk and shown no growth. And I feel 10x better than I did a year ago.

In the Photography Realm, I’ve finally upgraded as I wanted to over the past few years.

My recent purchases were the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM and the Body I’ve been wanting for a long time, the EOS 5D Mark III. I still have my Speedlite 580EX II but I’ve sold my 70-200 and hope to replace it with the newer version in the future.

I’ll try and update the site on a more regular basis, instead of a 2-3 year schedule!
