Bio (include your age, tumor type and date of diagnosis)I am 10 year survivor of craniopharyngioma, diagnosed 2012, age 38 at the time. Two years ago, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer I decided I wasn’t going to wait for “someday” any longer. I am too young to have these two serious diseases and took the opportunity to live life to my fullest by taking my family to the bottom of the earth to see and experience Antarctica.
