The bad news: I had a spinal tumor (the tumor was "in(side) my spine and "as big as a pencil", according to my team of doctors.) My cognition has been affected (English/Japanese (spelling, speaking) is as if spoken by a non-native speaker). I cannot feel my (from my point of view) left leg, my left side, my left breast (sorry to say that!), and nod my neck alot. My typing skills are not so good, neither is my hand writing.
The worse news: The tumor I have is malignant and a rare type of tumor. My probability of living is NOT good.
The good news: There is God (and Jesus). That is what I truly believe. Please pray to whomever you pray to for me. My real name is Sydney B. I believe whomever you are praying to will know who I am.
The good news 2: I have not been to Japan yet. I may get to go.
