I'm a cancer researcher, and let me tell you, your case is every laboratory personnel's worst nightmare. We want to give you the correct diagnosis as soon as possible, but that also means we will not give you half/potentially wrong diagnoses... and as for the timing, usually labs prefer to run tests sequentially instead of concurrently, due to the pricing. So we start with the easy, cheap tests that find most of the diagnoses, and then move on to harder and more expensive methods until we find an answer. The test I am most familiar with takes anywhere between 24-48 hours to run and then another 12 hours to properly analyze the data. So in a bad scenario, lets say the test is set up on a thursday, it could be the monday that the data is analyzed.... and if the answer does not come from that test, we have to run another one. This is not to make you feel less bad about the time it is taking (because I fully agree, this is taking long) but just to help you understand what is going on behind the scenes. I imagine the scientist assigned your case is having sleepless nights over it. And for the question why not put your most advanced test first? Well..... so the test I mentioned previously is somewhere in the middle of extreme testing and can cost 10 grand per test.... 😬 hospitals and labs make choices based on their resources (which is probably also why it was send to London, they have more resources) and then you end up with scenarios like this. The doctor not understanding the report is also not surprising to me, they are experienced in entirely different lingo than the molecular jargon. Keep on fighting! I assure you the scientists and doctors will too ❤

Tests are not run in batches in histology to my knowledge! It isnt run through a machine! This requires sectioning and preparation of tissue and microscopy doesn't it..surely the delays are due to the specialised examination involved of what seems to be something rather atypical here and likely involving more than one histopsthologist and transfer between hospitals.

No. Wrong on so many levels!! WHO has NO authority over local medical practices country by country!! Secondly there are no laws about making diagnoses! Thirdly each specialty anywhere might follow particular GUIDELINES about particular areas of medicine in best practices but they are guidelines on standards of care. IF a hospital has a standard of practice for reporting on results in a lab that is one thing but you are too presumptive about how medicine works .

Just to help inform: Diagnosis of gliomas has become incredibly complex. They have been subdivided ad nauseum based on molecular markers and genetic analysis, which makes categorizing the tumors both more specific and more labor intensive. Just in 2021 (I know, just) they updated the list of tumors introduced a lot of different subtypes of glioma. So, some categories were changed, some tumor types moved based on new information, and new tumor types were created. So, to help give you some explanation as to why it takes so long, it is because they have to run a lot of tests on your pathology. This is especially necessary because it seems so rare. Your neurosurgeon not having any idea what the pathologists are saying makes some sense, because again many of these tumor markers may be new and you have to piece together a lot of different components. Surgeons are great at their jobs, but their job isn't necessarily to know every tumor type under the sun because they are primarily focused on the surgical treatment of tumors. Knowing it is a glioma vs a meningioma is more important for surgical treatment as far as they are concerned, so sometimes surgeons may be a bit rusty on the details. That does not discount their expertise or experience, and often when we are confronted with something more unusual we go and do research. The bread and butter cases are what surgeons are familiar with, and sometimes we need refreshing with the rarer cases.

@brandonkaye5227 is right. Surgeons are specialists in their field but pathology is an entirely different field that requires an entirely different set of knowledge and that scope of information changes and evolves rapidly unlike. My father had a hemangiopericytoma removed from his leg and it took weeks to get the tumor identified. The wait is frustrating but worth it because without knowing the specific tumor type, it’s a challenge to put together the most appropriate treatment plan if you don’t really know what you’re dealing with.

Another thing to add to this as well is that certain genetic tests or further testing they may be doing is usually done on a schedule - ie. DNA analysis for a certain mutation may only be done once a week or once a month which SUCKS when you're the patient waiting for results but financially techs/labs can't just run 1 sample on a run, they usually build up a few samples to be able to do their run. It costs time, reagents, and resources to do it for every single specimen so that could also be why it's delayed. (we deal with this a lot with some samples we receive in our lab - certain tests are only run once a month or even sent to New York to be run because we don't have the specific machine needed to run certain detailed analyses).

One of my closest friends at 28 got diagnosed with a very rare kind of cancer of the optic nerve. It had an absolutely awful prognosis and was a very aggressive type typically. He had only developed it in one eye but the oncologist told him it was almost always bilateral and so he'd almost certainly lose his sight completely once the other eye became affected. His 5 year survival rate was put at 10 percent. That was 26 years ago last month. It never did appear in the other eye and he's been N.E.D for 2 decades now. He got married and had a beautiful daughter I'm godfather to and yeah, I'm a man but I'm tearing up just typing this Point is, hopefully her prognosis will end up good but even if it's not there's always hope.

I am a Biomedical scientist in the UK in London. Some tests can take absolutely weeks to process due to logistical challenges, laboratory problems, supply issues, etc. even someone having to manually check and report the results before even reporting back. To add to this, histological processes can take a lot of time, especially if calcification has occured, as obtaining slides to look at under the microscope requires softening and this alone takes time. If some are inconclusive due to poor processing etc. it can take a long time due to resectioning. Sometimes it may take second and third opinions from multiple pathologists who are the absolute top experts in the field. Believe me, the pressure of getting these types of results out there can be highly challenging and frustrating when we know patients are waiting for literal life changing information. This is a reminder of why I do what I do as i usually dont know patient outcomes.

I can only imagine the anxiety and pain the whole uncertainty and delay with the diagnosis is causing on top of your body physically trying to recover. Praying for as good news as possible for you sooner rather than later but keep that positivity and bravery going and you'll nail it no matter what. x

Sending you peace and positive, positive thoughts! And also, for what it's worth, I know how scary doing your own research can be. Numbers can be overwhelming, but those are all "big number statistics", describing trends for large groups of people. You're an individual with an incredibly positive, strong disposition, and those numbers may not be appropriate to describe you at all. I'll keep looking forward to your updates, there are already so many people rooting for you! Sending you the best!

Love your videos and My wife and I are both praying for you. After my fifth heart surgery, I took up the motto of "I Day At A Time, I Step At A Time" It took me forever to learn to slow down. What I did not expect was 4 more heart surgeries. Now that we have finally figured out the problem, I have been much better. Stick in there, Adjust and "Take One Step At A Time, One Day At A Time" Again, I will pray for you and hope you can post more videos.

Good Eve'n Eireann ..... How "over it" you must be feeling about hearing "still more research" and "we just want to be thorough". Having only recently been told they've found my 7.8mm in center of crown of my head, I know I'm just running the gambit of all those possibilities, right now. Here's how you're helping me immensely. I'm thanking God that I don't feel so isolated anymore. I understand I'm not unique. It's out there and until finding your vlog, I felt I was trudging through this experience and nobody knows anything about it. Then I find you!!!!. A young lass that shouldn't have to be dealing with this. But you've been dealing with a lot of my own thoughts and I truly am thankful. I don't feel so all alone anymore either. Just want you to know that other than my concern now, for you and your journey thus far, I'm still sending good vibes and mucho prayers for you. As far as the Holiday Season and having to deal with this........ I was rushed to ER on Dec 23, 2014 with all pointing to an infection of prosthetic and stainless poles, in my left leg. My leg was removed December 24th, at 1:30 in the morning. When I finally woke up on Christmas day, I had no pain anymore and actually felt good about beating 82% blood poison (2 different germs). My 4 kids came through to visit.......and the consensus was.......... I was alive and oh so very thankful to be alive!. It was exactly the way that Holiday Season was to be, that year. I know you must be thinking that "timing" for you is the worst. Stay as strong as you already are and know that there's a reason for everything. And this is just Eireann's plan for 2023. That word will come soon...... My own situation will work it's way out too. I thank you for your patience and strength during this time. You're amazing gal........Devon's a fortunate lad! Best wishes for a Christmas filled with Peace, Love and (continued) Prayers.

I too was recently diagnosed with cancer and for me I didn’t realize stress can cause unwarranted back pain. If you find your self in a situation where you’re not in a good place. Practice doing breathing exercises. I found it help me calm down. Keep positive you have the right mindset! It is a u fortunately an emotional rollercoaster. I see you are strong and I am praying for u. From Canada.

Hello! I had a craniotomy in October to remove a brain tumor. I have metastatic breast cancer so my tumor was the progression/spread of that. I just wanted to say that it is a tough thing to go through and some days it is hard to stay positive and that is ok. All of those feelings are valid. I hope you get some answers soon and that you enjoy a lovely relaxing holiday with your dad! Sending good vibes and strength your way! ❤

Éireann you are a very strong woman! Keep your positive mentality as you go through this, it helps you out so much more than you could imagine! You are already doing so much better than the doctors originally said you may experience after surgery with being able to talk. I went through this 6 years ago myself and was told almost everything you were to the degree of what I’d experience and everything. Thankfully I am healthy now but you seem to show all of the same signs of progress I was showing at that stage if not better. Keep your head up high and you can get through it! I’m rooting for you

Something that I once read has always helped me when I wanted to be positive, but found myself struggling … and that’s that it’s healthy and real to tell yourself that in this moment, I’m not ok.

Hello Éireann! I can understand the conflictual feelings you have right know, as you are waiting for the correct diagnostic from the doctors! It is hard to live with the uncertainty of the situation and with different opinions of your medical team! Especially in the holiday season! If you feel your team is less experienced with brain tumors, you can have other consultations with doctors that have more experience with it. I have decided to change doctors when I felt my neurosurgeon was over his head with my case as I have a brain tumor and had to have an awake surgery 3 years ago with an other doctor than him. I was diagnosed in 2017 at 23, and right know, I'm 29 and finishing my second bachelor degree this year. Also, I ran my first marathon in September! Even when we have a difficult diagnosis, we can thrive. I'm not implying you should make a change, but it is an option. Don't stop advocating for your health, you deserve the best treatment!

I'm in awe of your candid attitude, you're obviously very brave. I just wanted to quickly say that, both my brother and dad have had cancer, and the doctors told them they had a few years to live, but 10 years later for my brother (now 36) and 11 years later for my dad (now 72) they are both as fit and healthy as they've ever been. I'm not a medical professional in any way, but I just wanted to share that with you. I hope that you manage to enjoy some of your xmas, even though you must be really anxious. Best wishes to you X

Eirinn, you're doing so awesome! The hard days are hard and that's totally ok. I'm sorry that this is the road you're on, no one deserves it. We're still waiting for my niece's pathology and she had her craniotomy around the same time as you. They were able to figure out my nephew's grade 1 astrocytoma quickly but it took a while for his glioblastoma pathology to return because it was a "fascinating and unusual" case. You've got a lovely support system. Lean into them. You don't owe anyone a good mood/attitude but you'll probably want to continue trying for positivity when you can for your own benefit and make the most of your good days when you can. You've got this! ❣️

Tough times indeed..sending you massive air hugs ♡ People always say there's "someone worse off than you", which is true enough, but when you're in a situation like this (especially an unknown) it can really get you down and feel like the absolute worst.. I hope you feel better real quick- physically and mentally- and get good news soon. Very glad you have a supportive family & friends to share the weight of the battle with, but I know at times it can still get lonely and dark no matter how much support there is. I'm sure you're helping so many others by sharing your journey (I don't have a tumour but still find your videos helpful ha 😊) and good _will_ come of this. 🌤 (P.s I love your accent so much!
