In this episode of Aunty M's Brain Tumour Talk Show, I interview Carol Vaughn from California, whose life was changed in 2008 by a brain tumour. Carol recounts her diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and the vital importance of finding online support groups. Carol's journey begins with back surgery and triggering long drives, causing nausea and vomiting. Unexplained falls follow, mistaken for unrelated issues. A critical fall leads to a coma and a brain tumour diagnosis. Emerging after days, speech and mobility prove challenging, requiring extensive therapy. Grateful for God and family support, Carol faces further complications from improper surgical outcomes, leading to additional surgeries, skin grafts, and muscle grafts due to infections. Her enduring faith becomes a pillar of strength. In 2010, she endured her first seizure; sadly, because she fell to the floor, it caused her shoulder to dislocate. Seeking understanding, Carol finds solace in online brain tumour groups like 'Aunty M Brain Tumours Chat Room' on Facebook, connecting with a supportive community that empathizes with her journey. The story underscores the significance of shared experiences and support networks, highlighting Carol's resilience and her ability to find comfort in the company of those who understand her struggles.
