I’m going on my first international trip Saturday. I needed to see this today. Stuff just keeps going wrong and I’m struggling not to be worried, etc… Thank you! I’ll get my head out of my nether regions now and just get on with it. You’re my inspiration.

Shannon,

Thank you for sharing your story! You are a very strong woman and I know you will continue to do great things in the world!

The one place I wanted to share on here is the Maldives. I think it is such a beautiful place and everybody deserves to go there!

Just found your blog. I have the Caribbean travel bug, but any travel is pretty darn cool.

Cheers!

Thanks for the story and Bonne Chance to you!!!

Last year I said adieu to corp. america for good & am now pursuing my travel passion 100%, it has somehow parleyed into a small business. I’m at my happiest & my children love their new unstressed mom.

The other day while listening to French music & daydreaming of the last time I was in Paris (my favorite city), I got a rush (maybe it was the wine) and marched straight to the computer and purchased a ticket for May.

Life is not a dress rehearsal and tomorrow is never promised…. each minute should be lived like the gift it truly is!

Wow. Hate that you’re sick. Love that you have the sense of humor to name the tumors and wage war on them.

Am sending through some virtual hugs all the way over from New Zealand.

Be brave. Be strong. And live life to the fullest.

Thanks for sharing your story, Shannon. That's a brave thing to do. You are strong and will overcome this obstacle. A few years after moving to Arizona, Alan and I had a wake up call. That's why now we have "itchy travel feet." I hope you'll keep on scratching yours. .-= Donna Hull´s last blog ..What’s a Travel Blogger To Do? =-.

My dearest Shannon,
SHIT
I’m just now finding this out.
You have been through your share of trial and tribulations this year from Paw Paw to Life’s Plain Ol’ Orneriness. I’ve watched you talk yourself through each bump in the road and then glide on past secure in your decisions. Meningioma just picked the wrong person to mess with. Ass kicking — it has no clue what it is in for!!!! If you get a little down come on over – Rog will whip you up a margarita to lift you up then tell you some tall tale to make you laugh.
We love you and plan on taking your advice.
Yvonne

Shannon–

Incredible and indeed, inspiring story. A strong woman you are not just in physical strength, but appears to be in emotional and mental stamina as well. It is stories like yours that remind all of us to take a good look at our own lives to do what matters the most and not to wait a moment longer in doing there.

I should have some inclination from having a set of parents with life-threatening illnesses which got me to volunteering at MD Anderson, then a volunteer coordinator, into a Master in Geriatric Social Work, landed my first job at M D Anderson Cancer Center as a Bone Marrow Transplant Social Worker where I had the privilege to learn and experience so much for over 5 yrs– most lessons learned from my patients like you.

Thank you for sharing your story with your readers. I’ve not read any of your posts until today. I am glad that I did thanks to Twitter lists through which I found @Chris2x and one of his tweets happened to be this very post. Amazing how these things happen. YES– My eyes welled up quite quickly!!
