No brain tissue was removed :) the tumor was extracted successfully . The side effects are tremendous . My priority system change and now I prefer to travel, spend time with friends and family . Things came in prospective very quickly . Actually, I proposed to my gf before the surgery took place and she accepted , so 6 months after the surgery , we hosted 500+guests wedding ceremony .

Hi , thank you for your questions! I am not seeking 100% re-covery. The experience changed me completely - psychologically and emotionally . As far as physical shape, I resumed my gym activities and kickboxing practice only a month after the surgery . Again, I am not searching for re-covery , life was more conceptual , flat and one dimensional. Now , life takes place simultaneously all the time, it is more meaningful and every second is worth living ! I run my own business and I started meeting clients 9 days after the surgery , I still had my metal staples , 54 of them on the side where they made the incision. Surgery was done at nyu langone , the neurosurgeon was Dr Jafar Jafar.

The tumor was located at my cerebellopontine angle. The neurosurgeon reflected that it was tough location to operate since it was right under my brain , and he needed an ENT to lift the brain so he would reach and operate . It turned out that neurosurgery has a lot in common with real estate and it is always "location location , location !" They could not answer two important questions , both important to me . What caused the tumor ? How long has it been growing for ? Usually , if there is inflammation in the area near by the tumor , they could read this to predict the longevity of the tumor ... It could have been a reason for my behavior and or certain decisions I made, or it could have been the other way around and some.of my choices and behaviors could have caused the growth of the tumor , or maybe such set the conditions. This is a little bit like the chicken and the eggs conundrum. My argument is that tumors are physical metaphoric expressions of emotional and psychological trauma. If we fail to resolve a situation at a conscious level , it would manifest in the physical as faith . Next, traveling to India , Nepal , south east Asia and china .
