Living With Inoperable Brain Cancer! | Michael's Patient Story

Michael was 26 when he started feeling dizzy and nauseous after a family trip to Minnesota. He thought it was an ear problem until facial weakness and eye movement issues led doctors to discover a tumor in his brain stem. His life changed when he was diagnosed with a diffuse midline glioma.

In this cancer vlog, Michael shares his emotional journey from the first dizzy spells to his diagnosis and treatment. He talks about going through a specialized radiation trial at a leading hospital, facing side effects like facial paralysis and numbness, and learning to live with hope. Supported by his mother, fiancée, and close friends, Michael opens up about acceptance, faith, and finding beauty in everyday life. He also found strength in online support groups where others share their experiences. His story is about courage, gratitude, and never taking life for granted.

Thank you, Michael, for sharing your story to help others.
