Looking for Connection with Others with Similar Physical Differences

Hi, I’m interested in hearing some world views from different people who have similar physical experiences to myself. I have a tumor intertwined in my spinal cord which unfortunately can’t be removed without paralysis. Noticeable physical differences began when I was about 6. The left side of my body is weaker and more difficult to use, as I’ve grown older it’s become more difficult. My left arm feels stuck, and I walk with a weird hop due to the weakness in my left leg. Long story short I often feel alone in the world and I just want somebody to share my struggle and really understand my feelings. I’d love to connect with some people.

I have an inoperable brain tumor. I had proton radiation this summer! Feel free to message me anytime.

Are any of the newer surgeries available for you. Position is everything ( no pun intended) but if they can’t resect it then how about radiation? Have you contacted the bigger important hospitals like Mayo Clinic or John Hopkins etc?
