Eventually, doctors suggested a brain biopsy, which revealed that he has a rare cancer called intravascular lymphoma. They started chemotherapy this week and we hope for the best...View Thread



As a stroke survivor, I am doing a research project that will examines the importance of rehabilitation process for stroke recovery. The
significance of this project is to: identifying the needs of a stroke survivors, change societal perceptions, discover solutions to improve the rehabilitation process, and locate the meaning of recovery.
Why I am doing this research project?
This project is important to me because I had a stroke at the age of 31 in 2001 and the idea of stroke survivor is still a new concept to me. I always thought of myself as a victim. A victim of circumstances, a victim of hereditary, a victim without a perpetrator except my own body.
The idea of "Survivor" never came in the picture, because then I would have to see myself as overcoming something I could not describe to anyone else, that did not share the experience of a stroke. Survivor meant I am seeking to recovery and have hope of one day being who I once was. Survivor seemed to be an impossibility to me, so I owned my victim status.
I was wrong.
I am a survivor because I had a stroke and I lived.
I am a survivor because I had a stroke and I get tell other people about my experience.
I am a survivor because had a stroke I still have hope to gain the things I lost.
I am a survivor because had a stroke I still have dreams.
I am a survivor because had a stroke I still can still learn.
I am a survivor because had a stroke I still love myself and others.
This research project is a way to come to terms with what I went through and define what "recovery" means to stroke survivors collectively.
Please read my story and participate in my survey or questionnaire if you want to. There are also links to online support groups.
Thank you.View Thread

Please feel free take my short 10 question survey for my project or if you are willing to participate in an interview I would love you to share your story, again anonymously.
Otherwise, I am here to to listen, an not use any your information toward my project, just because their are so many people that allowed me to vent and share process my frustration with them. It really helps to speak to others that truly understand, not just try to understand. Having a stroke is so much more complicated and no two strokes are the same. I had a stroke, I am still here and it has shaped who I have become, but it is not my entire identity. Learning that, allowed me to see a future and want everyone affected by a stroke to have the hope and not lose it like I did for a very long time.
