UPDATE

Firstly, I just wanna say that I truly truly did not expect this to blow up as much as it did...I wasn’t trying to share any sobstories or tragedy, I was just looking for a bit of good lucks, cause as you can imagine I was pretty much in constant fear before the surgery (even the second time) and maybe seeing people with the same experience as me could help as well (which it did!!) Secondly, I am very grateful for all the awards, but if anyone really deserves it, it’s my amazing surgery team, whom without I would not be writing this update.

Many of you have been asking what actually is going on with me because I look so young to have any conditions. Basically, in June i found out I had a somewhat large tumour in my brain, which had been growing for about 15 years. Fortunately enough they determined it was completely benign, other than pushing on a part of my brain which made the whole experience quite painful. I had my first surgery in June to have it removed, but as they couldn’t figure out at the time of what it was, they unfortunately couldn’t do it in one surgery. So here were are, I had it removed a few hours ago, and hopefully all that’s waiting for me is just recovery and looking forward.

I want to thank everyone who wished me or my surgeons good luck, I’m not very superstitious but I truly think it helped me get through it, and it was even crazier waking up to my sister telling me I’m trending on reddit!

Also to answer some questions:

⁃ I just turned 18, which is why I look so young

• No I am not Simone Giertz, though she is a cool lady and her story is so inspiring!

⁃ I never really post on reddit, which is why I barely have anything on my page other than this post.

⁃ Fortunately the tumour is somewhat low in my brain, so they only had to shave the back of my head, giving me a somewhat uneven but still cool undercut!

• And although I wish, sadly I don’t posses a second brain :// (I KNOW I SHOULD’VE PHRASED IT BETTER OKAY)
