How do you react when you find out you have nine brain tumors and need immediate, high-stakes laser surgery? If you are health sciences librarian Deborah, you geek out.
On this week's episode of Changed By Cancer, Deborah describes her surreal path through the medical system as a trip where Alice in Wonderland meets sci-fi. Her brain surgery wasn't invasive cutting—it was highly targeted Gamma Knife radiation.
"My surgeon and the physicist are wearing suits and sitting in the next room, basically playing Space Invaders with my tumors," she shares.
It is a story of incredible clinical precision, absolute resilience, and the beautifully dark wit of a woman who literally watched her tumors shrivel on a screen.
Deborah’s first episode of two is officially streaming now. Grab your headphones and spend your weekend with a story that will completely change how you think about cancer survival.
