3News Senior Health Correspondent Monica Robins, in her own words, remembers July 2, 2019. 4:30 p.m.
"While putting my story together for the 6 p.m. news, I received a call that would transform my life: I learned I had a brain tumor - a sphenoid-orbital meningioma, to be exact - that would require surgery, and the outcome was unknown.
"This type of tumor was common, but the location of mine was rare. They saw maybe four cases like mine per year.
"The heath reporter who spent decades bringing us the stories of others facing dire medical conditions was now facing her own. What seemed so ironic is that I felt the hundreds of stories people allowed me to share through the years prepared me for what I was about to face. I met so many people who went through dire diagnoses much worse than mine, and they handled it all with grace and dignity.
"It was that strength I would call upon. It was the lessons they taught me that I would once again share with others.
