Hello readers, interlopers, etc. I started this blog in February 2011 as an outlet to talk about my health issues caused by Neurofibromatosis (NF) Type 1.
But since 2016, I decided to significantly revamp my blog (when I can even write in it!!!!)
This blog will be about many things:
1. To continue writing about NF as an outlet for myself, but also to spread awareness. Not just awareness that NF exists, but also the realities of living with NF.
2. To write about my health as a Stomach Cancer Survivor. NF isn't the only health issue I deal with! I aim to write about awareness for THAT type of cancer as well as the realities of recovery but also for HOPE that you CAN survive this ordeal.
3. My funny life as a wife and mom. I need to write more about every day things, lighter things, musings, and more. I had my son in 2014, despite cancer, despite NF, and life is great. I am lucky.
Therefore, I not only want to spread awareness and information that sometimes medical websites can't answer, but I also want to put a smile on your face. I hope that's possible!
I changed my blog name from i-have-nf-1 to fingertipfrenzy because I just want to write about life. I want to write a LOT. Writing is therapeutic. I miss writing.
I am more than someone with Neurofibromatosis. So maybe I'll find time to write more if I don't have to only write about my health.
Sooo ...about your author
