Over the last 2 years, I've had tons of tests completed. Finally now, I don't have any substantial tumors remaining. I also know the cause of my tumour and while it has been hard for my family (finding out you're the cause of this is never nice!) they have taken it very well.
I still have an elevated heart rate and mood swings, this will continue and I have some tremors in my hand. The doctors have suggested to go on some antidepressant drugs to help but instead I focused on physical and mental exercise to deal with all of the above; its working great so far.
Some of the things that occured in the last 2 years included;
- elevated dopamine
- suicidal thoughts
- depression
- fear of mortality
- thoughts of not wanting children because i didn't want to pass this on
These are apparently very common feelings within people who have these tumors and the drugs that are given to deal with dopamine levels. Mixutre of counselling, drugs and a change in lifestyle (excerising more, new friends, healthier diet) helped get through this.
I haven't updated this much and probably won't again but if anyone does want specific information or to have me tell you more detail then please contact me @ dcerreto@hotmail.com
