Hi Kristin, I have a big brain tumor, called meningioma, 7 cm big in my small head. I just heard your miraculous story, five minutes ago. I am thinking about going to a surgery. Could you tell me what you are doing now, after 11 years of your tumor taking out? Does the tumor regrow? Do you have any side effects?... Thanks you very much! Take care of yourself. Dorothy
I was diagnosed with a benign meningioma back in November 2022. I had been driving and had just gotten home. About 15 min later I lost all control on my right side, slid to the floor where I passed out. I came to approx. 10 minutes later where I was able to call 911. The hospital did a CT and MRI and I found out the next morning I had the meningioma. Got scheduled with the surgeon for February. I was never at any point scared, in fact I was joking about it. I knew in my heart that GOD had my back. The morning of surgery I'm laying in the pre-op area and I look out the window to see one small hole break in the clouds and this beam of sunlight shine down into my room. It was the most peaceful thing I've ever experienced. That was a Tuesday. After a 7 hour surgery I woke up the next morning as if nothing had happened. I was not in any pain, in fact I was ready to leave. They sent me home 2 days later. I've been incredibly blessed. I hope you are healthy now! May GOD continue to bless you!
I've been getting migraines since September so for about 5 months. It's like someone is squeasing my head. It can make me feel faint too. I have seen a Neurologist and have yet to get a brain scan. I loved your story :)
You are a walking miracle! 💟 Thank God for healing you ❤You are an inspiration, you'll help so many,I thank you so much for sharing your story💝 By the way you're very beautiful 💝 Love & prayers sent ❤
Thank you for your video 💕 I have a grade 2 astrocytoma I’ve just had it removed. It’s nice being able to relate to someone who’s had around about the same symptoms, I used to get the stabbing sharp headache pain in that one location where the tumour was, straight after my surgery some of my symptoms went straight away, I still get every so often that sharp stabbing headache in that area, did you find it went away for you or did it carry on for some time after surgery? I have my next mri in a few weeks and time cannot get quicker! X
I have a brain tumor as well on my right side above my ear. I'm was so nervous about it. I know when it's time to have surgery I will be overwhelmed. The down time is going to be crazy for me. But I know that, " GOD WILL HAVE MY BACK" But watching this video make me feel at ease. Thank you ❤
Well done, I’ve just gone through surgery last Friday..been kind of scared since leaving hospital..straight from ICU, but things are picking up..if anyone would like to talk would love to hear from you god bless
Thank you. I just went into remission from Stage 4A Ductal Prostate Cancer then they told me I have a meningioma about the size of a golf ball. Trying to have hope. It is hard after fighting on disease to turn around and go into battle again.
I don't understand why they shaved parts of your hair for an MRI? I have to have them done every 3-6 months on my brain and never once have they touched my hair. I've had 9 brain surgeries again never shaved my hair. Now my 10th brain surgery they are shaving it. I have an AVM (rare) as well as fistulas. 12 yr process to get these all fixed. I'm just so curious over your MRI so far amazing story. That surgery is called an anigogram ugh so uncomfortable lol.
amazing testimony I just got benign brain tumor surgery and going through rehabilitation and I have MRI scan on july 8 just worried and I have faith that God has healed me completely
Hello! I found your story while researching brain tumor recovery. You see, my 30 year old daughter was just diagnosed with a brain tumor and going to have surgery in two weeks. Like you, so many things could be explained away until she started to have episodes where she didn't make sense when she spoke. Your story is inspirational. How are you doing now?
3rd Ventricular Brain Cyst; Shunted since age 6, 4 revision surgeries. On permanent disability. One thing I’ve learned though...All a person has to if they’re feeling depressed about their own situation (which is inevitable), go to your local e.r., hang out for a while, you’ll soon realize THAT IT COULD ALWAYS BE MUCH MUCH WORSE. Just a thought.
God works in mysterious ways. Many good things happened for me too during my brain tumor journey. I was very lucky when my first seizure happened. I was at home, not in the public. Thank God! You are so beautiful. Best wishes for continued good health.
I have a brain tumor also and I'm very scared about it im being as strong as I possibly can but I just want to say I hope you never grow your hair back it's absolutely stunning you where it will❤
I had heard of your type of tumor during a random conversation a few days ago so I looked it up and found your wonderful video. Much of your story reminds me of this film www.cripvideoproductions.com/astrokeofendurance.php so I thought it may interest you even though It deals with stroke rather than brain tumor.
I am listening to your video I am in the hospital post op 6 hrs from nuro sugery of a large mengioma on right side upper with an attachment to the central sagittal vein But as i watch you speaking and your facial expressions and 7 min in I have the overpowering need to express how absolutely breathtaking you appear your personality and inflection as you speak your eyes I think your one of the most intriguing women i have observed Trust me I was married to a Vogue cover girl and dated a other model donna j slatton so its not as if i am trolling But what is it about you Anyway here i sit with my own brain tumor and at age 57 with plenty of wonderful women around You are so absolutely breath taking In personality and glowing health Well done !
You're amazingly adorable, sweet, beautiful and Godly! Love and blessings to you. I am a radio show host on the net. And I would LOVE to have you on my show to give my listeners your testimony. Whether you respond or not, you have my support. God bless you and your family.
My girlfriends son has just been diagnosed with a brain tumour. I’m so scared and wanted to find out more, that’s why I decided to listen to your story. Even though we still not know if it’s cancer or not, I’ve decided to keep positive. It was amazing listening to your courageous and positive attitude. I feel like if you can go through something as scary as that, I might also be able to help my friends through this and be strong. It’s not even happening to me, but still I am so affected by the whole situation. I want to thank you for your inspirational video. Hugs from Denmark.🇩🇰😊
I am so sorry to hear....I pray everything goes smoothly with your girlfriends son and that God guides him through and he comes out healed and whole💜 Stay strong and positive...that will get you through more than anything! Xoxo!
Hello the birth control pills caused the tumor. Sorry but you should really pay attention to what you read online. Don't you know anything about Western medicine? You should research how modern medicine in the US all got started.
Love the end sections 36:33 "Lessons learned" and 38:50 "Why I did this" (help 1 other person). Spot on! I too am recovering from brain surgery deep in my left frontal lobe. I also had persistent migraines (horomone related). I had warning signs ( I also ignored) and my neurologist (at Duke) sent me for an MRI before Christmas - when they found an ICH (inter-cranial hemorrhage causing a stroke) and my Cavernoma (#raredisease). I was very fortunate to have one of the best brain tumor surgeons in the world very nearby (Allan Friedman at Duke). At 8 weeks now I still have speech difficulties & am a little unsteady on my feet (right sided weakness - that walker is still handy). Tomorrow I'm getting my haircut and I LOVE your cut!!...time for the "new me") LOL! You look amazing! Thanks for posting - if I'd seen this sooner, I would have been your "one". Don't worry - I'm working on my blog (US Cavernoma Chronicles) - more voices will help!
Scuba KiwiNC Thank you so much for your message! I am so happy you had a good experience and pray your healing continues!! I love your positive outlook and wish you the very best!!!💕
I had a seizure out of nowhere two days ago and was rushed to the hospital and they found a grade 2 tumor in my front right lobe of my brain..my surgery is next week and I am very scared..thank you for your story
Kristin, I had another MRI on 1/11 and a follow up is scheduled with the Neurologist on 2/1. According to the Neurological Center, my MRI showed nothing pressing or they would have scheduled me immediately. I am still concerned as the first MRI show a small growth in my brain, similar to the one that Cheryl Crow has. Your video gives me confidence but I am still worried. I only wished that I had your strength in God. I am trying and praying throughout my day. Thank you for your words.
