I have a brain tumor.....

[@courtelizz1]

Hi everyone! I wanted to let you all know that I am doing great. It's hard everyday but I'm trying to do my best and I can't wait to be myself again and talk to everyone. Let me know if you want to see my new video on my surgery, it shows the testing they did during the surgery, while I was awake to help them map the exact location of the tumor. Love you guys and thank you for your support and prayers. See you soon!

I've also been diagnosed with a brain tumor a week before my 20th Birthday. I was walking around with symptoms for six months until I had a seizure and actually collapsed. Six years ago I had my tumor removed. Before the surgery, doctors told me I'll lose half of my vision and possibly my long term memory. And here I am. I'm attending medical school, doing work outs three times a week, eating healthy, learned to play multiple instruments and most importantly I learned to live and appreciate my being. Getting a Diagnose like that in your young adult life is a nightmare and a blessing as well! Whoever is watching us from up above, has bigger plans for you!!! Mark my words. Trust your beautiful brain and it's willpower. You got this!!!! 🌺❤️🙏🏾

[@jenniferyo1264]

HARRY ORANGE thank you so much

[@ru6825]

What were your symptoms?

[@mimosaparkkonen8296]

Warrior.

[@jenniferyo1264]

Gerry F I want to stress that symptoms vary extremely. Which is why I ended up watching this video, besides the fact that I barely know anyone under 30 with a brain tumor and it's good to know you're not alone... this sounds weird but I hope it's understandable But yeah my symptoms started becoming noticeable when I started losing my short time memory, our short term memory is able to keep information for 20 seconds, if it isn't repeated. However, the way I was losing it was very noticeable to people in my environment. Like I had to change the topic of a whole conversation because I couldn't back track. I'm assuming that it was a small seizure, petite mal. At the age of ten, i started getting minor migraine attacks but I never got them checked because it would only last a few minutes, I haven't had them since my tumor has been removed. So mainly migraines and horrible short term memory attacks. Mind you, everybody forgets things but the way I did it was very noticeable!!!! Forgetting your phone number or a name doesn't mean you have a brain tumor! Then I woke up after I passed out in my kitchen, I figured it was due to stress...and it happened again one week later. My brother saw me having a seizure and that's how my story began. I had no such thing as an Aura or any particular situation causing my seizures. I would close my eyes and open them and wake up somewhere else. I hope this was helpful for you. It's kinda hard to keep it short...

Hi Courtney - I'm not sure if you'll see this comment. But I am a neurosurgical ICU nurse. I care for patients after tumor resections all the time. I just want to reassure you that you're gonna be ok. The brain is an amazing thing, and you are so young! I wish there were words to make this better. I have seen so many people undergo this surgery. Two years ago I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and I know exactly how you feel when you are told a diagnosis that affects your life. You got this! Trust the doctors and nurses. They are gonna get this out and hopefully it'll be a thing in the past. Xoxo

Hannah Clough hi Hannah I have a question as I type this I am feeling some very sharp stingy like pain on the left side of my head it happens randomly and I have told my doctor about it but she said it was normal and I have always wanted to ask someone that knows a little more or is a little more directed into that neuro field, do you believe it's normal or should I be concerned?

[@1217423]

sunshinee drea I have that too! And I also have lost vision for seconds a few times ... everything would went blurry for a few seconds then I would feel so dizzy afterwards! I haven't gone to the doctor though because I'm so scared ugh!! Sorry for my bad English

[@elisebowles6100]

I am 14 and last year was the worst year of my life . For so long I couldn't sleep and my head hurt all the time . I didn't feel like myself. And it only got worse. One day when I was on a trip in Oregon I lost my vision my head felt horrible and I couldn't stand up straight. Once I got home I was bed bound and for a week and would not get up unless I had to. Finally on July 14 my mom saw me and that day I felt a little better but then I fell to the ground, my vision was gone everything was blurry , I started to puke up everything and after that we rushed to childrens mercy and it all went so quickly we got an mri and they saw a pineal tumor in the middle of my brain and after that they rushed me to a emergency surgery. They shaved a little of the right side of my head and went in with a camera and took out the tumor and although It had a 50% chance rate I survived it and I felt better but then a month later I lost my vision and so we didn't know if any thing was really wrong but then we found out it was a bigger tumor than the last and it was in the middle of my brain and this tumor looked like it had cancer. They said the survival rate was lower but it was the only thing we could do. So they went in the back of my head and instead of with a camera they had to open up my skull . The day I got my surgery was my first day of 8th grade ( which really sucked) but after all that I survived) I did miss the first few weeks of school in the hospital trying to walk again relearning how to move my neck learning other things like that and in the end after many tests they saw there was no cancer. I'm lucky that I am alive and although I'm missing a pineal gland ( which controls your sleep so it's hard to sleep sometimes but it's ok I take melatonin) and I have a scar in the front of my head that looks like a bald spot and a huge scar on the back of my head I'm so very luck to be alive . This video helped me feel I wasn't alone in my brain tumor journey so thank you for this video. Sorry for the long story

[@ladyxkuromi]

[@RollingOnTheStage]

I have anxiety too, but I watch her journey to remember how life can change in a minute. How for now when we have our health. We have emotional issues, also disrupted cognitive functions, but imagine going through losing yourself. Your ability to express yourself. Your ability to feel safe within your own body. How it slowly colapses. Anxiety can be controlled, can be mild if taken seriously by you and your closest family/friends. Her journey reminds me that even though I have diabities, anxiety, several other hormonal diseases, a boyfriend who is toxic, that slowly I can manage my problems, my life. Because I still am myself. Small scared often terefied creature. But going through chemo, brain surgery when you have to grasp for every word, for your freedom to think. Sorry for babling. I am exhausted.

My mother had a brain tumor also, apparently she had it for 17 years and just thought it was migraines. Back then, when she was in her 20's, they only had a catscan that didn't catch it. Fast forward to 1987, the MRI had just come along and she had one, they found it, the size of a large orange, they ended up doing 11 surgeries on it(it actually had "seeds" embedded in the bone of her neck and that's why it kept coming back. They figured that out on her last surgery. She came through each one wonderfully, they always said she may be blind, def, paralyzed, etc. nothing like that occurred. It never came back. She ended up passing away in 1996 but not from that...I know you will be okay, technology is so much more advanced than it was when my mom had her surgeries and she was alright. I'm sending many good vibes to you sweetheart. I'm rooting for you!

Being exposed to that radiation would actually increase your risk for cancer formation so its a double edged sword

[@nikolamarie6864]

You are exposed for a while, its like when people have to get X-ray. Its proven the amount of you are exposed to during X-ray isn't damaging or increasing the risk for you. You shouldn't get an X-ray when pregnant though. Sad thing is, that in USA you pay for your insurance and still have big bills sent to you. In my country you pay around 100 bucks (half of it, if you are employed comes from employers pocket) and you get almost everything for free. (Standard things you are sent to, like if you go to emergency room, you pay 3 bucks for them look at you, you pay for some prescribed drugs, and stuff. But most of the appointments you are sent to (EEG, EKG, MRI, X-rays etc) are for free. )

Courtney, hope this will help you. 19 years ago I started having severe headaches. After MRI it turned out to be a very large brain tumor. Surgery followed at Barrows Neurological Center in Phoenix. At this time it turned out to be brain cancer stage 3, chances of surviving 3%. I got into clinical trial, which meant chemo first, radiation second, a reversed order from typical treatment. All treatment including surgery lasted 4 months. That was in 2001, I’m still here in2020. I strongly recommend Barrow, I owe them my life. Best wishes to you.

What a miracle! What do you think was the #1 thing that helped you survive? Why do you think some people die but some make it? I'm going through grief right now because my twin sister died in August of leiomyosarcoma. She caught it at stage 2, almost 3, she said. Sadly, I didn't believe her at first because she had a history of exaggeration. I regret it so much and wonder if my worry about a growth they found on my colon is only survivor's guilt.

I had brain surgery too. I had been sick for 4 days, which was unlike me, and my parents had made a drs apt so I got up to shower before the apt. I came downstairs looking for underwear, asking for trees. My parents were confused and I was totally incoherent. I was a freshman in high school and I couldn't even write the ABC's. Long story short, I had a brain infection and I was in a coma for almost 2 weeks. I had subdural empyema and the drs said it was so rare 1 in a million get it and they didn't have a cure for it. They said I'd never be able to walk, talk, basically be normal again. I'm about the graduate law school and I graduated high school on time despite missing a whole semester. I know you're in good hands and these drs are going to make sure you're ok! Everyone is pulling for you and my thoughts & prayers are with you.

I was told that best case scenario he would be a vegetable the rest of his life as he is 60% brain dead. 6 years later my son Devin is a happy healthy boy who runs, jumps, tells jokes and shows love like no other child I have ever met.

Seventeen years ago I went in for a 36 week ultrasound so my ob/gyn could monitor my baby. While the tech was doing the ultrasound I saw something on the screen and asked what it was. She said nothing but the doctor sent me to a high risk pregnancy doctor. No one would tell us anything. The new doctor did an ultrasound as well then called the neurosurgeon down to see the ultrasound. A week later I was having a c section. None of the doctors knew for sure what it was just that it wasn't right. My son was born at 37 weeks and immediately had to go into the neonatal ICU. They also did his MRI and we found out he had a brain tumor. It was such a horrible feeling when all we should have had was joy. My sons tumor was supposed to be a slow growing tumor and the plan was to have it taken out later down the road. Well at 5 weeks my son had brain surgery because the tumor had doubled in size. The first half of my sons life was spent shuffling from doctor to doctor. The physical and physiological issues that have stemmed from his tumor has been something we all had to overcome. He is now 17 with a horseshoe shaped scar on the right side of his head. He is my everything. I know scared you are. There is life on the other side. It may be different though. When things like this happen change is inevitable for everyone that's close to you. When my son was very young I was sitting in a store waiting on my husband holding my son. I was in a very bad place at that time. A young man came up to me and kneeled at my side and told me that everything is going to be ok, HE will be okay. I looked up at him with tears in my eyes and told him thank you. He smiled and got up and as he walked away I noticed the scar down the back of his head. I needed to hear that so badly. I will say a prayer for you. But Courtney YOU WILL BE OKAY. This is all going to work out

I had a benign brain tumor too! Craniopharyngioma on my pituitary gland/hypothalamus. It had been there at least 5 years before it was discovered (I was 11), and was also first told it was just dehydration. I've talked to so many people since then who have had all sorts of brain tumors. It's amazing what a huge support community there is. I'm 21 now and while my life is different than I imagined it would be, the experience made me who I am today. Hang in there!

Allegra Noelle I too had a benign brain tumor. It was located on my third ventricle and causing me headaches for months. Luckily they were able to remove my tumor with two surgeries, which took place over Christmas time this past year. I stayed in the hospital for 22 days, which were probably the worst 22 days of my life.

oldi184 Do you feel good about yourself telling others that God doesn't exist? The only people I know that put other's down for their beliefs are those that are insecure/unsure about their own.

[@oldi184]

mrmuffins4224 Of course not. Truth is rarely pleasant. Often its bad and ugly and bitter. But God as we know from the books - good, loving, powerful, merciful, omnipresent, omnipotent dont exist. Think about it for a moment. If God is powerful, omnipresent and he love us why evil exist in this world? And i dont mean evil done by other humans. I mean evil outside of human sphere of influence. For example a child is born without eyes or legs etc. it is clearly evil and not good. He was born and he will suffer for the rest of his life. A guy named Epicurus ask the same questions more than 2000 years ago. Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? "God," he [Epicurus] says, "either wants to eliminate bad things and cannot, or can but does not want to, or neither wishes to nor can, or both wants to and can. If he wants to and cannot, then he is weak and this does not apply to god. If he can but does not want to, then he is spiteful which is equally foreign to god’'s nature. If he neither wants to nor can, he is both weak and spiteful, and so not a god. If he wants to and can, which is the only thing fitting for a god, where then do bad things come from? Or why does he not eliminate them?" You see? Its very simple. He does not exists. This simple thought experiment excludes him. He was never real. But corporations like Catholic church made millions from telling simple minded humans this bs story.

[@GIguy]

Well that's one thing I don't have to worry about, if I ever had a brain tumour it would starve to death! Sorry, little dark humour there, but I am a cancer survivor, I have had three reoccurrences of bowel Cancer, they gutted me like a fish, in my tumours were malignant, but I'm living proof that the doctors aren't always right, because all of them told me I had less than a 10% chance each time it came back, and each time, for whatever reason, in my case I credit my faith in God, I somehow managed to survive, and years later I'm still here. I know the words tumor, or cancer, are the most terrifying words in the English language, but having been through it so much, I learn not to feel it anymore, cancer is such a mystery, and each person is so unique, as is the cancer and how it affects them. Doctors know the science of cancer, but nobody knows how each cancer will react with each particular individual, they only go by what they've been taught, but I go by what I've learned from my own personal experiences. You're an absolutely stunningly beautiful, intelligent young woman, with your entire life ahead of you, and I know it's easy for me to say, but have some faith, and try not to worry, because I can see in your eyes that your remarkably strong, and I know that you can beat this, without even breaking a sweat. Wishing you all the best, try your best to stay positive, cry when you need to, and just listen to yourself, you know your body better than anyone else. If the doctors seem more pessimistic, just remember what I told you, they don't know everything, and nothing is absolute, God bless!❤️

Eating fruits and vegetables has absolutely nothing to do with this topic. Now my sister has a pituitary disease called acromegaly and is dying from that. Yet she still says that others have suffered far more than her. Before diagnosed with acromegaly, she had a huge aneurysm and almost died from that.

[@minnalindakay]

i have a microadenoma(basically tiny tumor) in my pituitary... it has been there for 8 years. my doctors just watch over it through MRI's. I know an older lady who had a macroadenoma in her pituitary who was able to opt for pills instead of surgery. she has to take them for the rest of her life but they have done the trick getting rid of her tumor. I get so tired of the migraines & hormonal imbalances that I have been debating surgery to remove it but after reading these I think I will opt for pills.. 😯

[@kittysplosions]

my sister passed out at work once, and suffered from migraines most of her life. so we took her to the hospital and she had a brain tumor. she got it removed through surgery but the doctors made the mistake of not doing another MRI, pieces broke off from her brain all down her spine and spread to her bones. she died a year later (this was like 3 years ago) so it's nice to hear that it's not a death sentence for everyone (I'm not sure if that sounds insincere) I'm glad you're getting through it
