Fifteen Months Michael L Stolfi

On the night of June 25, 2012, the whole sky fell. I was diagnosed with a Grade 4 GlioblastomaMultiforme. That's fancy medical jargon for"really bad brain cancer." The cancer kills half of thosepersons diagnosed within one year and has a survival rateof fifteen months. Fifteen months came and went. Braincancer took a great deal away from me, but in the yearsfollowing that night, I chose to see what it actually gave me. I have walked a path of darkness and light. The followingis a collection of my thoughts, in journal form, as I walkedthat path. I found myself again along the way and have trulylived beyond those fifteen months.
