For reference. I'm a 34 year old male that got diagnosed with a glioblastoma this summer. I had the tumor removed and have finished a lot of the treatment already.

EDIT:

Here are some answers to a lot of common questions I'm seeing. As far as symptoms go I was having terrible headaches, smelling things that weren't there, I had some issues with light, and a few other random things. I found out I had the tumor because my boss thought something was really off with me and made me go to the hospital.

I'm doing well after the surgery and not really having any cognitive issues. I'm fully functioning and back at work and living my life like I was before surgery. I may have posted the imagine of my brain before surgery, rather then after. I also believe that the tumor compresses the brain around it, so it should slowly rebound.

Here are some more pictures me after surgery, the staples, some random bits, and a banana next to my head for scale

Howdy! I had a stroke when I was 12. Brain bleed. My hole is the size of an egg but boy howdy did I lose English, Math, Spanish, reading, and I'm partially blind now!
