It's benign. I actually have a genetic disorder that causes me to sprout benign tumors in fun places, and undergo routine MRIs for monitoring them, so we knew this one was there. There are just so many tumors in my system that aggressively treating every single one is a no-go.

They do at least tend towards causing issues slowly when a particular tumor decides to misbehave, though. This one was just motivated or something. Every other surgery I've had has been planned out in advance, not frantically like this one.

Always cool to stumble across a neuro! I definitely have a great team, and I do my best in the attitude/outlook department.

The surgery was done by Dr. Bettegowda at Johns Hopkins. He does good work!
