that would be a "great" conversation.

Oh that’s cool... *hol up*

Don’t be a dick lol I also have had a brain tumor and needed brain surgery so it’s like it’s your choice meds or brain surgery, she probably feels more better now though since her surgery I would say “Give me the name of 1 surgeon of the many you have had working on you. Because my surgery I’m still recovering 25 months since I had it so anyways I’m trying to say that it’s tough to recover after you’ve had the kind of surgery that we’ve been through but worth it because in the end we will be not only recovered, but stronger from having the surgery

Put it on a T-shirt and I'll be the first one to buy it!

@@nhreef Nah... Just wash them down with some prune juice. ;)

Damn onion cutting ninjas in here

INSTANTLY! Super crazy

Holy crap, same. I have only just discovered this channel and yeah... instantly teary.

Got something in both eyes. Man... that message hit me right in the feels...

Same here

As a med. physicist in 1970 I had to plan treatments with gamma rays from Cobalt 60. The doctor would draw an outline of the head on paper, then draw where he thought the tumour was. I was limited to two fixed beams of variable width and had to plan what width for each and at what angles they had to be placed to maximise the tumour dose. All done with stencils, pencil and paper. The modern tech. is phenomenal in comparison.

Yea, having my strong physics background, I was talking to the folks giving me my treatment today, and they showed me the console display. I don't know how well it turned out, as I have not looked at the video yet... but later this week, I may get them to show me again if did not turn out well. The folks at UVA are so great about all this!!! (and far better than the folks I had when I was being treated for a different form of cancer when I was 11).

This is incredible! Medical technology never ceases to amaze me and thank you so much for whatever part you have to play in it!

@@cinnion WOW !!!! You are a real fighter!! Cancer at 11 years of age must have been very scary for you and your family. I had stage 4 prostrate cancer, went through Radiation Therapy and so far all is good. I couldn't even imagine having cancer at 11 years of age. And now you are fighting it again, you Rock man!! Keep up the good fight.

Thank you for explaining this. It, and Simone's videos are helping me be less afraid about what's coming ahead of me. ❤

Authenticity yes, transparency not really. You don't need to spread your life for everyone to see/hear.

Yes!

anonymous anonymous That’s not transparency. That’s oversharing. I’m a transparent person but I don’t run around telling everyone everything. It’s just - I have no secrets. In conversation, I’m fine with revealing sensitive information, and I will answer your questions. That sort of thing. I think she is more of an extrovert than I am though

It's the super power that she had all along.

I would argue being able to resume what you love to do 2 months after radiation treatment for a brain tumor, after having a sizable portion of your brain scooped out with the tumor, a superpower of its own!

Hey, you still here? Hope your better!

@@hsmacaraig no response. uh oh.

ah, chemo. a fever on steroids. losing patients to hoping the drugs kill the cancer before they kill you since the 1940s

Hope your doing better

Life can be quite hard for people like us. I too was diagnosed with cancer (stage 2) i got the chemo version and whenever they injected the medicine the blood vessels hurts so bad that your whole body starts to feel . Anyways what i want to say is that it's hard to start a normal life again even after you're diagnosed/kinda healed .

marsupialdungbucket sorry hear about your situation praying for you and maybe you should make KZfaq channel and give updates.

I need to see this. 😆

@@kajsamelen If/when it happens I'll post a link here :-)

@@annomaly751 Thank you, but a KZfaq channel is probably not a good idea. Since the cancer diagnosis my sense of humour has turned very dark. For instance the theme song for my chemo treatments was this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/msydm9Jyld6Uo6c.html. I listened on headphones but it was hard not to sing along sometimes...

@@Reelix people try to not talk about cancer and radiation therapy. It's seen as a topic that's too shocking to just discuss

@@Reelix - They are reminders of our mortality.

@@christines3638 Yeah. That also reminds me of the death positivity movement and how it aims to help people have healthier and candid discussions about death. It can help make the grieving process more manageable and less isolating. Stuff like how it's a good idea to think of advance directives and end-of-life arrangements while you're still alive/well and discuss that with those close to you. Because without said discussion - their guesses on what you want is often only as good as a stranger's. They may not know that you /don't/ want to bankrupt them with fancy funeral packages or unnecessary medical expenses. As well as it being a good idea to be [compassionately] honest to children if someone they know and cares about dies.

It's a reminder that it's possible to just randomly get a life threatening illness and there's nothing you can do to prevent it. That thought terrifies me, that even perfectly healthy people can just get sick and die for no reason other than our body randomly fucking up and creating a cancerous cell that then spreads. I could get cancer, the people I love could get cancer, literally anyone can get cancer and no one can prevent it, and that's really scary to me. The best we can do is just get checked by the doctor often, especially if you have family history of cancer (In the future I'll have to get checked regularly for ovarian cancer because my aunt died of it), and just catch it early and kill it if you do get it. That said, it should be talked about way more. People always seem (understandably) grim when talking about cancer, but we really have to cope with these things better. Coincidentally, I heard that laughter actually helps the cancer fighting cells in our bodies, so maybe we should laugh more? I don't know if that's true, but it's not like it could hurt. Depression isn't good for your health on it's own, so it definitely wouldn't help to have cancer and be depressed.

She has cancer?

Hey try cbd oil. I have shakes that affect my whole body and it makes them go away - although I live in Australia with a dick at the head of our country so I have to smuggle it in. But if you can find it? Give it a go. Rock on little trooper!!

Simone is a poor role model for you!

Faroskalin Simone is a horrible role model for you!

Honestly I took a lot of comfort out of her talking about daring to ask for help. Maybe mental illness isn't seen as serious as a brain tumor but it's still your brain being messed up. And it takes great strength to know that you need help and ask for it. Anyway, hope you're doing a bit better 3 years on.

Brittney Newton many of us will get cancer in our lifetimes. it is just a part of aging...our cells are constantly exposed to damage, and sometimes a few cells slip through the checks and balances and run rampant. i hope your dad is doing okay.

Memantine is a hell of drug

It's a bit like freaky friday just with colors.

Andrea Boots I work in end of life care, and it’s truly incredible how many of my patients are unable to let go and be comfortable with asking for or accepting the help they need. The line I’ve used over and over to great effect is, “you’ve taken care of people your whole life, now it’s time to let us take care of you.” If it’s that hard for people in their 80s, 90s, even 100s, it’s so much harder for the young and vital. In short, it really is daring to flout the societal value of self reliance, even when self reliance isn’t a viable option. I mean, I agree with you. I love that quote, too

Apparently, your comment was 9 months ago. I was literally thinking the exact same thing today. I finally stumbled across Simone's channel today (4/10/2020 Coronavirus stay at home like a good little sheep nonsense, but I digress). I've been watching her content on and off all day, and I keep coming back for more. Simone is a walking, talking ray of sunshine. Funny, smart, and your buddy's kid sister kind of hot. Can't get enough.

@@Str8Raiser Oh dude, she's totally hot! Girl next door has always been my favorite look 😂

Unsure which to feel more strongly about, the crying or the eating of Lunchables by a "grown man". 😁

@@Tw3akst3r the great thing about being a grown ass adult is that you can buy your own Lunchables, any time you want. It's great. :D

@@Rosibean You make a VERY good point!

@@Tw3akst3r Lunchables... Hands down. I mean it takes no more than 5 minutes to just make a couple of sandwiches... and you get to put whatever you want on those. I'm a make a big pot on Sun for the week kinda guy... sandwiches and hotdogs mixed in throughout the week.

@@cavv0667 I just always felt there wasn't enough there, I'm 125lbs but I can put away a pretty large amount of food in a sitting and unless I'm eating about, (probably all) of it at once it just won't suffice.

It'd be super morbid, but you could probably model something from the CT scan.

You'd have to cut open the epoxy base to insert the brain then redo it somehow, and figure out how to attach the brain.

@@Ratchet4647 I thought there's enough opening left at the neck portion. I can imagine 3D printing 2 parts, then inserting it through the neck opening and glueing it together while inside. Then the only question is how it'll hover. Is magnetic levitation applicable in case the brain has some magnetisable metal mesh?

😂

Shame she never asked you to do it. You'd rig something up from all that uranium ore

The Virtual Scotsman actually my x-ray gun probably has just as much power as the machine they used on her. Not sure if the beam would be right though.

@@atriyakoller136 r/whoooosh

Thank you for doing the work you do. Keeping these machines functional saves lives. Also, how did you get into that career? And do you get exposed to any radiation?

@@Leroset I spent 5 years in the US Navy working on submarines. When I got out I put my resume online, and the company found me and trained me how to fix their machines. There is some minor radiation exposure, but nothing too extreme. The machine is a linear particle accelerator that creates a megavolt x-ray through coincident pulses of an electron gun and a RF amplifier. When the machine is turned off it isn't radioactive except for a couple of isolated components that cool off in about 18 hours and are easily avoided.

That is so cool! What’s a small world! Thank you for saving lives and for your service😁

@@theflava oh that's funny. I almost went into that job while in the Navy, but went into subs instead.

"a linear particle accelerator that creates a megavolt x-ray through coincident pulses of an electron gun and a RF amplifier" Coincident pulses, (nodding head), I totally understood this sentence.

That sounds hella spooky. Hope you're doing alright 💚

She has the holy spirit and God loves her.

Amen to that. Simone is amazing and the world needs people like her. :)

.... even though crying is TOTALLY ok.

Yep, asking for help,. Same for me. Funny how the hospital always seems to be the vehicle for getting people that can't ask for help, to be forced to ask for help. It couldn't be a coincidence could it?

@@Maxid1 sorry for such a long post. Just really wanted to try to let you know I hear you and can empathize.

@@illbeyourstumbleine One of the things I learned in addition to the importance of asking for help was the opposite of what I needed: When the IV drip is on the other foot: If there's someone in need, don't offer help, give it. Most people are like us, we don't want to impose (dig into that feeling deep enough and you'll find it's veiled pride). If someone is serious about offering help, pick a thing to do and do it. If there's something after that, do that too..Keep doing what they need until they don't need it anymore. Or don't offer in the first place if you're just saying it to be nice. They don't need nice, they need help. From watching people help others I've found that most people only want to do one thing (or nothing at all), not stick till the end. I know who my real friends are, and can help the ones that weren't in a way I wouldn't have been able to do before.

@@Maxid1 everything you said is so true and on point. The pride, the not asking and just doing. Amazing and insightful. You are a beautiful soul.

I. Know. Right. 😍😍😍.
