UNFORTUNATE BRAIN NEWS! #004 (from last week)
Hi. My name is Dana Swanson. This is my lil YouTube action that I use to track my currently semi-undiagnosed neurological disorder, which is most likely a level two glioma (clampy). Another long one with some hard drive fails. Get ready!

Currently, I am hoping these videos serve as not just an update for my friends and family but as a resource for people going through similar situations. This without a doubt includes the friends and family of those dealing with a possible brain tumor diagnosis, cancer diagnosis, side effects from pharmaceuticals and treatments, or other such unfortunate brain news or medical news.
