After being a firefighter/paramedic for over ten years, suddenly I had became the patient. On October 22, 2007 was the day I was told I needed a tumor in my head to be removed. Shocking, surprising and overwhelming was my new life. No longer was I seated on the fire engine to help all those that called 911, but now I was the one who needed the doctor's help. The diagnosis was brain cancer (glioblastoma multiforme) and their prognosis was very much less than exciting.
