Name: Mark

City: Phoenix, AZ

Brain Injury: BRAIN CANCER. I was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1995 requiring the whole right lung to be removed due to the location of the tumor. A year later, it was discovered that the cancer had moved to my brain (upper right parietal).

Explanation of mask:  The tumor needed to be surgically removed in addition to 35 treatments of radiation which left me a complete vegetable, meaning I was unable to care for myself. Today I live with seizures and do not know how they got started but I get worse when I have them. I am grateful I can successfully integrate with others in society.
