Dan’s Story

Site created on June 19, 2020

In December of 2018 I was diagnosed with two inoperable brain tumors. The tumors and its treatment have caused vision problems, terrible headaches and intractable nausea. Currently I'm unable to work. I'm undergoing chemotherapy treatments in an effort to heal and extend my time with my four-year-old son.


Unfortunately the treatments are not doing what the doctors want do I start radiation on the 29th

Journal entry by Dan Haugan

Well I'm over half way done with radiation. Just started  losing a little bit of hair where they target 'beam' no big deal. 

I find it interesting that when I'm getting radiated that I see flashing lights with my eyes closed and it's actually a real thing. It's what's known as Cherenkov emissions or Cherenkov radiation.

I really need to gain some weight but other than that one foot in front of the other. Forward motion
