Welcome to Team Brain

Would you like to join Team Brain? Just write in this thread and tell me "I'm for Team Brain!" No need to quote any post, I'll be notified the thread has been respond to.

Show your team spirit by wearing lots of grey. Why grey? Our brain is grey. Daffodils represent cancer awareness. Try any combo for awareness this month.

Barton Boutique has a grey awareness ribbon for 25k gold plus you can find them in many colors too. Contact the TDM fairy here for your own daffodil if you need any.

Please observe Gaia's ToS and some common sense. Be nice, don't scam to get ahead, use spoiler tags if your are going to quote huge blocks of text, etc.

What is Brain Cancer?

Brain cancer can manifest first in the brain or even be a result of another cancer spreading cells throughout other parts of the body.

There are many different types of symptoms which could point to brain cancer. Some such as headaches, balance issues, and confusion are very common but may be brushed off as fatigue or even other diseases. The best way to tell is with imaging services such as cat-scans or MRIs.

I'll update this to be more informative soon.

Hi, everyone. The Team Brain thread is finally open. I decided to do this last second when I noticed Brain was one of the teams but there was no active thread. I'm quiet and lurk but I just had to take the opportunity to represent in case there were others at this time too who needed a space explore their feelings or to show their support.

Is/was someone in your life affected by this? Or do you know someone who was? If you have a passing interest, let us know why? What about your brain are you most grateful for?

My father died in 2011 from this horrific cancer which spread everywhere. My father went from a man passionate and fiery about his ideals (many I would never share) to a detached quiet man and finally a man who could not communicate or move in any way shape or form. The entire ordeal was horrific and I would never wish it upon anyone.

Looks good. I have ran Team Brain in the past, and I am happy with your setup.

I actually know no one that has suffered from it but I just enjoyed doing what I could for TDM.
