Meningioma Monday...

What's in a name?!


Many of us like to name our meningioma invaders; others not so much.
I have always referred to mine as the uninvited roommate overstaying its welcome. 


For some, bestowing a name upon their tumor has given them a sense of control. 
For others, a few choice words is what's needed most.


Over the years, Meningioma Mommas' second family members have shared the following:


Fred
Monster
Spike
Draco
Fat bastard
Tina Tumor
Mini
Puffed up muffin
Get the fuck out
Spot
The Toad
Squatter
PITA
Willie because he's always on my mind
Maleficent
Bug
Rock
Minnie me
The Beast
Little hitchhiker
Martha
Fred  I want you dead and out of my head
Airhead
Dopey ,Sneezy, Happy, Sleepy, Grumpy, Bashful, Doc--yes, there are seven
Freddy the Freeloader


How about you? 


To name or not to name?
