Pilocytic Astrocytoma WHO Grade 1

Image
This is the name of the tumor Brad has....I just googled it and it is typically something children get.  This is how the appointment went....... The doctor walked in the room with a smile and said, "You know don't you?" "You called and found out the results?"  I told him I didn't and his smile got bigger :)  He still didn't tell us he did a few coordination tests on Brad and sat down and said, "You have a Pilocytic Astrocytoma WHO Grade 1 tumor.....and if you have a brain tumor this is the type of tumor you want to have!"

It starts with taking a test to see what type of parent you are.  There are four different types of parenting styles which are:  The Dismissing Parent  disengages, ridicules, or curbs all negative emotions, feels uncertainty and fears feeling out of control, uses distraction techniques, feels that emotions are toxic or unhealthy, uses the passage of time as a cure-all replacement for problem-solving.
