There are many reasons people in our community continue to get inked with the Brain Tumor Companion | Meningioma Companion logo. This diagnosis is heavy, it's life-changing, and even for those who do well post a craniotomy, such as myself, there's that little something inside that always knows "I am a brain tumor survivor." You can run from this diagnosis but you can't hide. It will find you. This logo connects us and reminds us 1) We are not alone 2) There is a safe community of supporting companions who get it available 3) This experience and new normal is with me forever now 4) Although a little hollow inside, we have each other and lots of heart Congrats on being a survivor! If you have been inked share an image with me. I plan to make a collage for one of my May Gray Brain Tumor Awareness social media posts. Also, if you do have the tattoo, does anyone ever ask you about it? If so, what do they ask? I would love to hear your BTC tattoo story. Thank you all who took my little creation and made it even more special. It's truly our survivor/companion badge, it doesn't shout cancer or illness, but if you know, you know! Hugs, Angel |
