Tumor no more

On January 8, 2012 I was informed that the fight to live was over, I would not be getting my last Chemo treatment, all scans have no cancer traces in them what does that mean I inquired, you may dear are cancer free all damages healed itself no surgery is needed. Forward 24 months I had another test, cancer free. Two years of no cancer but I am fighting, the chemo caused blood clots in my left lung preventing my return to work. Also March 2013, all tests for my gender returned, medically lab tests proved I am a genetic female my birth record was changed and I am legally Shauna Elizabeth, no more hiding and fighting.

As for my health, 3 weeks ago I woke up to some heavy head aches, blackouts and dizziness beyond anything I have ever felt. Walking into walls and spinning to the drop of a pin, I went to the ER and they did a CT, was discovered, I have Brain Cancer.

The tumor is 3 CM which is the size of a walnut. I will keep you posted surgery is set for ASAP. Surgery was successful, I am home now. the tumor was growing but it was taken out. I lost my beautiful hair, I am alive and each day will prove I am one strong person no matter what gender you see. Soon I will sign up for school, I want to design clothes now.


I am now taking up graphics and computer art, I have found a passion that seem to keep me occupied learning so much which is how I got into it.

Specialties: I have sharp problem solving, communication and analytical skills. I also pay close attention to details and am able to perform multiple tasks simultaneously. Additionally, I also am able to work as part of a team with other administrators and managers, as well as fellow employees who do not have a background in computer science or technology. I strive to be the best in whatever I do even live lol.


I love life when I am allowed to enjoy it, and I will fight for mine :)

I have lived....


Like everyone we have fantastic lives, mine has been exceptionally great, I have seen and experienced some of the most extraordinary wonders anyone would have loved to experience. I have a huge bucket list that I covered.
I lived it in two souls each learning from each other, knowing what is right and what is wrong. Having illness such as cancer taught me the value of life in itself. People you meet and people you lose due to things in your past. I love everyone no matter how hateful they are, they are human and a part of the society we live in and it is challenging.
My getting brain cancer was a fluke, it didn't come from the lung cancer, it was something we all have and it was triggered maybe by not having enough rest, or pushing myself to the limits as I do all the time. I love being challenged, it is something that makes me live. I strive to be the best at whatever I do so I can teach others and then I have found the happiness I set fourth to do.

I will embark into a new journey the 29th, learn to do the basics again, walk, talk breath and push forward so I can still love all of you. My happy place is here, earth with my friends.
Don't worry about this lady, she is perfectly able to beat what is set fourth in her path, I have proved that numerous times. Challenge me and I will win, it is that way.

The next big surgery is on the list, and you all know what that is and it doesn't really matter if I get it or not, I have had it since I was born, just you can't see it, only with an Xray but it is me as a person that makes me. Not what is between my legs. 

I am Shauna, and this is who I am.
