I recently learned that a friend of a close friend, a young father in his early thirties, has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. His chances of surviving the next five years are just 40%

This is heartbreaking

I’m feeling grateful for my wrinkles and the chance to continue living my ordinary life

for sure. all things considered his chances are pretty good. the point I was trying to make is to enjoy life / health while you have it

Is it operable? Miracles happen. My mother had a brain tumor when I was a teen. Given a few years if it was left alone, but was operable with a 1 in 3 chance of living. She decided to have the operation and is still here today, with a titanium plate acting as the side of her skull.
