About this listen

 As a brain tumor patient, I wanted to learn about my tumor. But I couldn't, I had lost my vision.

Through my journey, I wanted to tell family & friends about my tumor so they could understand what has happening & help everyone feel at ease. But, I couldn't because we had to act fast due to the size of the tumor. After surgery, I decided I would create a podcast to tell about my own journey and with an open invitation for other brain tumor patients to share their stories.

My mission as a survivor of a Pituitary Macroadenoma is to help uplift other patients & families as they navigate the unknown.Copyright Esther Ciganda Social Sciences

    In this episode, I go over journaling as something to do post-surgery and in your journey.

    Here is a link to the writing cohort I completed after surgery in February - March. Then I would continue participating and being part of the success team for new digital writers in the April, August, and October cohorts.

    It has been a great experience to brain dump and to meet others who are going through different health issues as well.

    Join the next Ship 30 for 30 cohort,

    • Morning Pages. (not Morning Papers like I thought it was called.)
