Thank you also for sharing your story, sounds like a similar experience with my first neurosurgeon. Bedside manner is/was the same 🙈

Love this

Stay strong girl . God bless you .

Proud of you Jade ❤

Thank you for sharing your story Jade. My daughter and I both have it them too.

Love this great story 😁

It’d be lovely to hear how Kay is doing now. Did she go back to college?

Thank you for sharing your story. Mr Kitchen is brilliant. I’m so glad you didn’t take that first surgeons advice.

Love this

Thank you so much very helpful

I know it's playing up when I get Random HICCUPS for no reason associated with Food or Beverage intake

I don't have a CAVERNOMA STORY Yet. And all the Relief & Validation that arrives with a Clear Diagnosis. Not to mention Treatment Options & a sense belonging to a Community Society or Alliance Group or any ENTITY of Empathic Gathering of Kindred Spirits I have a SPECULATIVE Story though. It's like a Horror Story. A Steven King Movie. Even a Spy Agency couldn't manifest such suffering. But then AGAIN maybe they could & DID & THEY chose Me to DO IT to. Lucky Me in the United States of Australia eh!

As a retired neuropsychologist who a first big bleed from a cavernoma in the the left cerebellum when 71 I’m on the personal medical side. Having a well organized approach and mindfulness are important. After that some at least mostly nonjudgmental friends and informal support can help. I also had never seen a cavnoma patient in decades of work with older adults as the majority are younger people. In that regard this is a most devastating diagnosis. Therapy therefore needs to be aware these patients are dealing with ongoing loses. Friends and family will be dealing with loss and may have to make hard decisions. Letting of all shoulds finding meaning can be done but meaning needs to be defined by the individual. Usually also means letting go of expectations. In future presentations may be helpful to better define what a cavernoma is I.e., small cluster of capillaries. You seem like a sensitive young professional. Keep up the good work

May God bless you and fully restore you

Most important for caregivers to know is the location

Semoga segera ditemukan obat untuk cavernoma, dipublikasikan ,dan diproduksi

Thank you for this information and conversation. It was very helpful and gave me my first positive lead for health related to CCM and what I can do about it.

WOW, I'm 32 and have a cavernoma in my right temporal lobe which bled at an unknown time. Never (!!) heard of anyone with the same diagnosis including epilepsy and focal seizures - so interesting to hear Emily's story! Thank you so much it gives me hope. All the best, Emily

Thank you for this. And thank you, Emily. Just keep going. I had my cavernoma removed through laser when I was 28. My daughter was 3 yrs old. I'm 49 now and from the Philippines. Thanks everyone!

Hope you’re treatment has gone well Elliot! Thanks for your video , good luck for the future young man👍

I had a eye melanoma treat with gamma knife at Sheffield teaching hospital.The staff there were really the best I could have asked for , I was also worried about the frame fitting and injections around my eye before the frame fitting,but have to say that out of ten I had given it in my own mind it was all more like a two.I know it’s not a nice procedure but not as bad as what I thought it was going to be So thanks to all the staff you were all very professional and caring

Can u cure cavernoma permanently without surgery😢

Air flight may be safe but does sexual intercourse affect more bleed in male? There is currently a small bleed and I’ve been discharge from hospital for wait and monitor currently. I feel ok and there are no disability presently. There maybe a bleed and it has bled twice now.

How to cure Covernoma illness.without surgery.. surgery is very risky.. my Son have Covernoma

my Son have also Covernoma..how to recover this kind of illness..hope you can give me information how to avoid

This has been very informative! I had a question about combat sports and cavernomas. I have a hypothalamic Cavernoma that has bled and want to know your thoughts on this situation? One surgeon I've seen has said flat out no and one has said there's no evidence to say it'll become worse from head trauma...but I'm still not sure. 😅

I just watched this, and it was so informative! Thank you

Thank you so much, great video!

What's her email?

Hi. I was very interested to hear your story. I had a bleed between T3 and T4 and they discovered it was caused by a cavernoma. The bleed caused me to have a very weak left leg and pins and needles in my right leg, also known as Brown Sequard Syndrome. My strength has returned somewhat in my left leg after several months. They are planning to remove the cavernoma to avoid a bleed in the future, which could paralyze me. I commend you for the strength you have shown. keep the spirits up.

Can a cavernoma come back after complete resection if you have a sporadic case? Mine was completely resected in 2011 from my frontal left lobe when I was 15. I was cleared by my surgeon from needing any more MRIs or follow ups when I was 18 in 2014. I feel fine and have no symptoms but am a little worried about another one forming if that’s even possible?

Thank you very much sir ! microMan
