Brent’s Story

Brent Boswell's story is hard to imagine. Hard to imagine that he went from being an energetic author and speaker to sleeping over 20 hours a day. Hard to imagine him gradually losing his personality and coherence. Even harder to imagine he had developed a baseball-sized tumor (a meningioma) without knowing it. The symptoms of a meningioma can appear so gradually that it can easily be misdiagnosed as a sleep disorder, or a serious case of depression. But in the background, the meningioma alters the patient's brain function, and slowly turns them into a literal shell of themselves. If left undiagnosed, it can begin shutting the patient's body down completely. That's what would have happened to Brent...if his parents hadn't intervened.The hardest thing of all to imagine in this story is that Brent had an opportunity to get back everything he had lost.
