Backstory: 3 years ago I was enduring daily migraine headaches, bouts of dizziness, nausea and more, which eventually led me to undergo an MRI scan. The scan came back positive for a large cancerous tumor located in my cerebellum which was growing against my brain stem.

From that initial scan, doctors gave me 3 months to live unless I was operated on immediately. From that point, I was rushed to the hospital and found myself in the operating room. I spent the next year undergoing physiotherapy - re-learning how to walk, write, focus properly and more - very 'mundane' tasks that I will never take for granted again.

3 years later, I maintain a regular yoga schedule, I stay fit and healthy and I have regular MRI scan check-ups to keep tabs on whether or not there are any signs of regrowth -- so far so good!

I'm incredibly grateful to still be here, F**K CANCER!

It absolutely has definitely healed well.. wear that bald head look with pride. Your doctors/surgeons did an excellent job sealing you back up!
