3 1/2 weeks ago I had surgery to remove a very large Meningioma just like yours on my left side. It pushed my brain over 1"... the swelling of my brain was so bad, and the tumor damaged my skull.My Doctor, Jim Robinson was wonderful, he repaired and removed the tumor. I am having a very quick recovery that Doctors and nurses are amazed at! I consider the tumor a blessing, because I became closer to God, and all of the same feelings you felt, I felt as well. God bless you and your journey in life.

I had surgery 2 weeks ago to remove a golf sized meningioma in my brain..I am recovering well, seeing this video just made me feel that I am not alone in this journey!

Glad it all worked out for you. I also had a meningioma brain tumor that had been growing for 10 years. I love your line, "The head opened the heart." Beautiful. Be well!

Love your story! I’m scheduled in 6 days to have my meningioma removed. Your video gives me courage! I have a husband a 7 kids (ages 20 months to 15 years) so I’m looking forward to the future and a rapid recovery.

Her bright eyes just add up to the courage I wish I had for my own forthcoming operation.

I’ve been dealing with extreme migraines, nausea, vomiting, spinal pain, dizziness, vertigo, and seizures, for the last 3 years, but the last year has been really awful. I had a bone scan two weeks ago and it defected a tumor in my left frontal skull area. I have an MRI scheduled this week and meet with my neurologist in a week and a half to figure out treatment options. I’m so tired of not feeling well and I ultimately just want to feel like myself again. It’s taken over a year to figure this all out so I’m really grateful I stumbled upon this video knowing there are treatment options.

I am here crying...! My mom got this, however we live in Honduras, a surgery here...is very expensive, but we believe in God, we just need a miracle..

I have a pre-admission appointment tomorrow to have a 3.5cm tentorial meningioma removed. Your story sounds just like mine in that I didn't really have any symptoms other than what I could put down to age/hormones. I actually took part in some medical research scans which is how it was found - thank goodness! Thank you, Denise (Washington, UK)

The doctors at John Hopkins removed my meningioma. I’m grateful that I’m still here with me kids.

This is encouraging to me I am 71 years old and I'm facing similar situation

i am a Meningioma survivor. on September 2nd 2019 while going to the store i fell down, it was like my legs were being held, lost my balance and down i went... on September 3rd i fell in the bathroom could not get up again... ended up in the emergency room. the doctors gave me the 411, it turned out that i had 3 strokes, and that's when they told me you have a tumor in your brain. i said ok am i going to die or how long... they showed me a picture of my tumor and it was big, it had been growing for maybe more than 20 years, and part of it was wrapped around my optical nerve. i had never been sick in my life, i was a delivery man for 22 years, very active, not an incredibly healthy diet, whataburger every day. my surgery lasted 15 hours on September 8th 2019 here at University Medical Center El Paso Texas, by some amazing Hindu neuro surgeons. my brain today looks like a taco shell. i feel some what ok . the doctors moved fast, i am grateful to them. i agree with this lady that it opens up you emotions, i guess i feel reborn. it fills my heart with happiness to hear a fellow survivor tell their story... by the way the pathology report came back no cancer.

[williamshreeve]

Fantastic to hear your story. That just diagnosed me with a Brain tumor. Know very shortly I go for the surgery.

[diannariley]

I had surgery on mine and within 4 months it grew back to the size of a pea! I'm dizzy all the time like I'm still under anesthesia and I'm weak on my left side like I had a stroke. I'm in a wheelchair and am very carefully using a walker. Now I'm going to have radiation therapy to shrink the new tumor. They weren't able to get all of the tumor, only 85% of it. I'm trying to be hopeful about my prognosis!

[DaShawnCorporan-wrum]

A procedure scheduled the 24th to see if my heart is strong enough to handle the surgery scheduled for the 30th to remove my tumor. Only God's grace led me to push for my brain to be examined. Jesus Christ is a living healing loving God and I'm trusting Him with my life. I still don't have anyone to take me to the hospital for the surgery. I've prayed and I know My Saviour will work that out too. I cast the burdens of my heart on him daily. Everything about the journey with my health has caused me to believe in miracles and opened my heart to feel safe and at peace while my spirit is joyful and free each day.

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm not scared and I'm ready to overcome this too in Jesus Christ Mighty Name. The Power of the Holy Spirit is Real and I know My God loves me. I'll be fine 😊 My faith is in Him 💕💕💕

My mum had it in earlier this year, it was right under skull. She did surgery and i hope this tumor never back again to my mum.

[jacquelineskeen]

Dear Pat, I just had a fr. frontal lobe meningioma removed 7/22/16. I can relate to how opening the head opened the heart. Glad you came through ok; I only needed one surgery and tumor was behind my right forehead, close to the surface. Immediately in the ICU my vision was so much better, and the list of things returned to me was extensive. Quite profound. Had my surgery at Overlook Hospital, Summit NJ, with expert Dr. Brian Beyerl. Thank you for your video.

[emrgyproduction]

I hope this will the case for my mother 🙏🏾

[rebeccagorman-lykken]

I had the same type of brain tumor with out knowing my whole life till I was 30 yrs old and last year I had a seizure and blacked out while driving and than after acoma I woke up to find out I had a brain tumor the same kind as this. It was very scary. I have 4 kids very young age and it has left me with alot of scare and medication because of the PTSD and anxiety I know have. I never knew till that seizure i had a tumor I had headaches my whole life and was told by doctors it was allergies and that i needed to wear glasses. I still have headaches and pain where the tumor was. Its very scary to find u have a tumor and to worry about seizures... Its been hard.
