Thank you so much - that means SO MUCH TO ME Trying to create a resource for anyone going through brain surgery today, tomorrow, 5 years ago, or 5 years from now There’s something interestingly satisfying about hearing from someone else who has been ‘through it’ Happy new year I wish you nothing but health and happiness

Happy new year I wish you nothing but health and happiness 🤙🏽❤️⭐️

Naw thank you so much It’s honestly a pleasure It’s good to know that people enjoy my videos and it’s not just me waffling to the camera My ultimate goal is to galvanize our community, because it’s an truly elite club Hope all is well in your world

My absolute pleasure Thank you for taking the time to comment It means A LOT :)

My absolute pleasure Any other topics you would like me to cover?

They are, but very slowly I’ll make a video on this topic to share more details

@@TeresaDeLeon-c4w hello warrior! How do you feel, I’m so glad you’re here!!! I can tell already you have a great attitude How’s your recovery going? What deficits do you have? I wish you nothing but the best across this recovery journey Thanks for reaching out

Djin dobre (apologies for the spelling) Thank you for reaching out warrior The next few months can be annoying, but you also build a lot of resilience and character Where was your tumour removed from - do you think you will have any permanent deficits, or will you recover fully? FYI I love Poland I wish you nothing but the best :)

@@Thebraintumourwarrior G'day mate, I had an Astrocytoma grade 2 in my right temple. They removed 95% of it and now I will have Radiotherapy and then Chemo from what I know. I don't have any serious deficits other than drooping eyelid in my right eye but they say that if I train it and try to open my eye as much as possible everyday it will get back in order :) Thank you for the nice words, other than resilience and character I think I am building up my patience :D Australia looks awesome too and I would love to visit but the spiders...the spiders are keeping me away :D

@ haha I love your attitude and sense of humor My mum had drooping in one of her eyes, and it cleared up and is now back to normal I completely agree with you about patience I’m also really glad they removed so much of it Take care and keep us updated on your next progress ok:)

@@Thebraintumourwarrior this is not funny...I look at Australia and think "ohhh beautiful and interesting place" but then I remind myself that almost every animal wants to kill you :D but being serious now, someday when I have more money I will visit for sure :D hope you are doing good after your surgery :) Wish You merry and healthy Christmas

@ if you do, reach out and I’ll show all the good things to see Merry Christmas Have a brilliant 2025

Thank you

@@faisalbi1330 consider it done brother

Thanks so much I’ve learnt from the best

I’m so sorry to hear that I’m not too woo or super religious but I never let that little voice inside my head say that ‘this is serious’ I would chant in my head when I get scans, ‘it’s not serious’ over and over and over until the scans later I’m not saying this is definitely going to work for everyone, but I would feel horrible if I didn’t share Stay brave and fight I’m always here if you need to chat

@Thebraintumourwarrior I have withdrawn treatment. It no longer frightens me. I won that part of the war. Thank you for reaching out to me and others. You are a good man. I just want to rest now. ❤️

I completely understand It's brutally challenging isn't it I hope that whatever the future can bring, it brings you some peace Take care:)

I'm really grateful to be able to say, it is great. I can get forgetful and lose track of words at times, but on the whole I have no complaints How about you?

Balance, coordination in my left hand, swallowing food, severe dry eye in my left eye

Pray you get fully recovered

Thank you Thats really nice I hope so too:)

Severe dizziness I answer most of your questions in this video - th-cam.com/video/-asfMAWvAZU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KPD0dWihY0AwDd7p

Thank you so much for taking the time to ask so many good questions Are you recovering from brain surgery? Thanks for chatting:)

It's honestly a pleasure I'm adding more and more videos to my page so that people can use it as a tool for whenever they need it. I have put videos into different playlists, so people can quickly find what they need - they may want to know about headaches, or dizziness, or mindset - they can go to the playlist with that title and watch the videos that resonate with them, on that topic I also want my page to be evergreen - meaning that anyone can watch it, no matter what stage they are at, they could have had brain surgery, today, tomorrow, 5 years ago or 5 years from now, my videos will always be there for them to refer to Let me know if you have any other specific questions or ideas I should make a video about:) How's things with you?

Gday Mal, thanks for reaching out Sadly I can’t post shorts that are longer than 59 secs I have over 50 long form videos on my TH-cam page if you’d like to know more about my story Yes I am disabled, I have a disabled drivers Licence Are you a fellow warrior?

@Thebraintumourwarrior im not classed as disabled but i do have autism level 1 and have dealt with learning disabilities and other autism, down syndrome for 12 years of my school life and man i got stories about that lot. And wow disabled drivers license. Never thought it was a thing! Its so weird sounding. So wheres this license from usa, Canada, australia?

Yup that's right, we have disable drivers licences here in Australia!! I bet you do have stories! I'd love to hear them:) Where are you from? Thanks for reaching out:)

@@bigdaddybruce1 ouch! You poor bloke! That’s horrible I know that feeling it sucks I wish you nothing but the best, and for that annoying pain to subside!

@@breephoenix111 it’s still super challenging to eat and drink I have to concentrate on every single mouth full I routinely choke on my own saliva, because my body is still learning to swallow properly

@Thebraintumourwarrior it must be difficult. I literally nearly choked to death eating chicken 2 years ago and had to throw myself over a chair 4 times and actually got the chicken back up and fractured 3 ribs. I now sit down and eat and concentrate on every mouthful. I live alone, and it's still haunts me. It is scary.

I've nearly choked to death 3 times - I have a video coming out about this soon It's horrible, especially when home alone Look into getting a lifevac

@Thebraintumourwarrior where did you order yours from Joel? The original Australian company are said to be terrible and take months to ship?

@@breephoenix111 that's weird!! I had no dramas with them. Unsure about those reviews!?!?

Gratefully, nothing severe Yet I do get forgetful and lose track of words, which you will see this in most of my videos How about you?

The cerebellum Which caused all of my deficits Have you had surgery?

Wow! You are the exact person I make theses videos for, it's all I wanted to hear when I was in your situation How are you feeling? I wish you nothing but the best

@ I go to see my oncologist tomorrow for my biopsy results

I am sending lots of positive vibes!!!! Please let me know how it all goes:)

@ thank you

@@Thebraintumourwarrior I have Astrocytoma grade 4. Will soon start chemo and radiotherapy I’m so scared

I’m sorry you’re going through this INSIST ON AN MRI I had a CT scan, which showed nothing, I got an MRI the very next day, as I had a bad feeling, and the MRI revealed that my tumour had grown Always go for the MRI (as you are aware of) I hope you’re ok, that you start feeling better, and that the MRI results are positive and give you peace of mind Please keep me updated with how you’re going

These symptoms could be from anxiety and stress I’ve had to conquer these before, and seeing a psychologist and meditating really helped a lot

@@Thebraintumourwarrior I will insist, thank you xx

Excellent. Let me know how it goes Good Luck!!!

@@Thebraintumourwarrior 💞

Wow!!! Respect! I know how tough it is How are you feeling? Obrigado for commenting I hope you’re feeling ok

Gday Adam! Yeah I get headaches everyday! I feel hungover most days (without drinking alcohol) I keep a track of my progress with routine MRIs to check that the headaches are just from surgery and nothing serious GREAT Question - I’ll be making a video on this next soon, keep an eye out How’s things with you?

@@Thebraintumourwarrior Thanks - it's bit of a rollar coaster at the moment.

@@Adam-tu3iv yeah I know how that feels Keep being a warrior, hope things are ok for you mate Thanks for being such a great part of this community

It’s honestly a pleasure Thanks for taking the time to comment and ask great questions

This has put a huge smile on my face I’m stoked for you?! How long after you discovered it, did you have surgery?

@ i found out last April and I had my brain surgery 16 May. I have meningioma class 2.

@callinaaussievlog do you have any post op symptoms or deficits? How are you feeling? Thanks for reaching out. It’s great to connect with other warriors

@@Thebraintumourwarrior I’m still having trouble of naming people names, and can’t prounce the words properly specially when i get really tired. Other than that i’m pretty good, i just got my clearance from my surgeon allowing me to drive so happy with that. My sister had brain surgery as well last February this year. She said her head still sensitive.

@callinaaussievlog wow! Two in one family!!! I can resonate, my mum had brain surgery a few weeks after me My speech n voice is definitely altered too I can get forgetful and lose track of my words. You might see me in my videos, completely lose track or forget what I’m saying, I never edit it out, because it’s part of who I am now I genuinely hope you continue improving

@@nancyzimmerman5789 thank you so much for sharing The unknown and the up’s and downs are super challenging I’m stoked you do yoga and meditate, it’s so good for your mental health, and something I do every day I will definitely make a video for you about this Keep an eye out and thank you for reaching out My favorite aspect is chatting with you all I wish you nothing but the best moving forward Stay in touch:)

@@nancyzimmerman5789 here’s that video I promised th-cam.com/video/OHadPKbzhuE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Nqn3UUodFUaxk4wH

I am so sorry to hear that I completely empathise, I too have daily headaches and permanent tinnitus I feel hung over everyday One of the ways I get through the day with positivity is - I AM STILL HERE:)

Thank you so much, that is lovely Are you a fellow warrior?

@@aneride thank you That was super challenging But very satisfying I wonder how many I can do now, I’ll have to give it a try

@@aneride warrior Tell us more

Wow! Thank goodness We definitely have A LOT in common How is your partner recovering today?

Great question I honestly did before having my son, and found it so hard to get back to sleep after waking up Now that I have a 13 month old, anytime I can get sleep, I do, and I fall asleep quickly and deeply (not for too long though) :) How bout you?

@@aneride this has put a huge smile on my face! You’re very lucky and I love how grateful you are Brilliant attitude

@@aneride tell me more :)

I had my surgery last year. It all started with sudden onset of severe headache. I'm fine now going about my normal activities. I love sports, I play tennis, cycle and walk alot of time. I went on break after my surgery but I'm back on my sporting activities which I love so....much. God is good, all the time.....

@ I love this for you Thank you for sharing I love your positive attitude too :)

@@cheffy777 I don’t have seizures, other neurological challenges, but not seizures. Do you?

I​@Thebraintumorwarrior I have partial Seizures effects on the right-hand side, I partial seizures involved my right arm my hand and my legs my face What other Neurological challenges do you have??

@ I’m so sorry to hear that. Must be so challenging. My entire left hand side is severely uncoordinated and I get tremors in my left hand Another random symptom I get is severe eye, when it gets really dry it gets so blurry, I cannot see

@@rubekabowen9193 we have A LOT in common Was her surgery in the Cerebellum or brain stem?!
