6 Months After Brain Surgery | MRI results + health update
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- I can't believe my craniotomy was 6 months ago now. Here is my update on my recent MRI results and I'm sorry I kept you waiting so long! I had 1 MRI before surgery, 1 right after and 1 every 12 weeks since then so this was my 4th in 6 months 😅
I'm so grateful for all of lovely people who have supported me throughout this health journey. Thank you ❤️
More videos coming ASAP I promise 😊

As a nurse, I LOVE seeing my patients and families out in the community. Years ago I was a nurse at The Children’s Hospital, Boston. I had taken care of this sweet baby after she had open heart surgery. 1 year later, I’m in Porter Square, going into a pub and I heard my name. It was the mum with the little girl. Both looked amazing. I wish you all the best and much love from SW France.
Me too! I often see them at Trader Joe’s and they always show me what’s in their cart! ;)
U don’t have patients u have clients
@@1ReikiFloW not me! Client connotes better service to higher payer- patient connotes a sense of altruism and compassion…no matter who you are or what you did ,or how much money you have - you are always treated with competence and caring in my hands-
Is it true that the glioblastoma survival rate after 5 years is only 7%. ?. A survivor on youtube named Pablo Kelly is alive 11 years after his diagnosis . He refused chemo , in favour of ketogenic metabolic therapy. He is an anomoly .Have you heard of this before ?.

People who accuse you of lying about this stuff baffle me, complete weirdos.
Pleased to hear you had a good MRI result, sending best wishes Eireann.
I'd agree in general, but there are also weird people on social media, faking stuff. The bad thing with anything cancer is that people have some pre-conceived images in their head of what a cancer patient should look like. If people think you look "healthy" (whatever that means), they doubt your story. If you look sick, you can bullshit them easily.
@rebel4466 honestly I literally know someone who made it up... She had breast cancer once and then claimed it had returned and she was going to die, which eventually turned out to be a lie. Totally insane! But those cases are very, very rare! Normally sane people do NOT make this kind of stuff up and accusing someone of lying simply because you can't see the scar tissue is equally insane!
Same. I will never forget when a few years ago a beauty UA-camr got diagnosed with terminal brain cancer (Samantha Jaelle), and a couple of days before she passed some people were still accusing her of being a scammer who just wanted a free holiday. Unbelievable. Some people have no empathy...
@andreae. I think I saw that not long ago.. Was she a young girl? Even after she died I saw trolls spitting nasty things on her page. Can't believe how sick some people can be!
I agree with you but sadly this is a reality for many who get sick either cancer or chronic illnesses or disabilities. I've gone through it for many years and even though it's hard can see that with all the scammers out there that many are skeptical.
It’s disgusting that people accusing you of lying they’ve never had brain surgery and it looks scary
Scars remind us that what we endured was real , no matter what anyone thinks.
I couldn't agree more ❤️
Hi! Physio student here! You should look up the path of the trigeminal nerve as a couple of it's branches run close to where your scar is. It could have become more sensitized from surgery, and nerves if damaged regenerate very slowly. Also it makes sense if it's only on one side of your face from the middle as that's the path of the nerve!
But why did it start acting out only after the eyebrow waxing which was a while after the surgery?
@@surfingthedarkness huh?
I should have read the comments, I just said this same thing.
I've also had beers with a neurosurgeon before. But it wasn't one that treated me. It was the dad of a close friend of mine. Kinda funny that she had her brain tumor removal by someone else. It feels like these highly intelligent professionals aren't human anymore, but the guy was/is very down to earth. After all he has seen in all the stages of his medical career, it felt like he was very "normal". Like he didn't really care about what others might think or what would happen in the grand scheme of things. He was just himself. Not trying to impress anyone, not trying to fool anyone or be seen as someone that he isn't. That's rare in people today.
I can't express to you in words how happy I am to hear from you! I was so worried about you. I don't really use Instagram because I am blind and the Instagram app is not the most user-friendly for blind people, since it mostly has to do with photos. When I saw this just now I was genuinely relieved. I'm sending you a big hug. I don't understand how or what kind of twisted brains people have to accuse you of lying about what you have been through, I don't understand how anyone would do that I think your encounter with your doctor at the Bar is super cool and he sounds Like a guardian angel in a way. If you can, please keep us posted. I will try and see if I can follow you on Instagram but as I said I have trouble with that app because the screen reader doesn't make a lot of sense when you are on the app. Big hugs
You look absolutely stunning. I was worried because you were MIA, I always checked for updates. Very greatful about your good results and you feeling better with your new meds. Your neurosurgeon sounds so very great. I'm happy for your amazing relationship with him. You're doing so well I'm rooting for you ❤
Hi Eireann, Thank you for sharing your story and keeping us updated. I am a PhD student in Buffalo, NY, USA, studying the mechanisms of cancer and investigating different immunotherapies. Your updates give profound meaning to my work, and I am sure to other scientists and physicians. I am cheering for you and hope nothing but great things ahead. Thank you again! Cheers!
Good news! Good to see you again, Eirann!
My results of my mri scan on my head are nothings changed I have still got a little bit of the tumour in my head they have to keep monitoring. Keep fighting we will beat this
Your serendipitous encounter with your surgeon in the pub is a very good sign. You each are certainly an important part of the life work. You sound great Eireann, keep finding joy or rather being open when joy comes your way.
I’m so glad to see you looking so well and that your May scans are clear. And nice to know your Neurosurgeon is just a regular guy outside the OR. (Let’s not lose sight of the fact that he IS A BRAIN SURGEON!!) lol. I had noticed that I hadn’t seen you on UA-cam for a while, so I was a little worried. I’m glad you posted. Take care sweet girl and stay well!! PS I hope the drama is behind you with whatever you were going through. 😊
I see that you are doing well by the cheerfulness you are showing us!
There are a lot of people going through or have gotten past dealing with cancer treatment.
I am glad for myself being in remission and not having hospital stays and treatments and doctor visits!
"You live from test to test with cancer, not by the calender" so said my sister in law who died at age 50 from stomach cancer.
It’s always encouraging to see successful brain surgery
Haha that's great you saw your surgeon when you were out! A human experience! And he hung out with you♥️ That was a spiritual encounter✨
Keep being well🦋🦋🦋🦋
I am so happy to hear from you again, Eireann! And, I am thrilled to know that you are doing well. Just want to say that like you I am a cancer survivor for almost 3 years now. What I am very thankful for now is the Canadian Healthcare system. Not only did I get a good oncologist in one of the best cancer hospitals in the world (Princess Margaret Hospital), but also the no worry on my dozens of blood tests, xrays, MRI, scans, shots, hospital supplies, nurse visits at home, regular surgeon check-ups and hospital stays. We tend to overlook this part sometimes, but I know I will always be appreciative especially when I am only paying for my parking fee at the hospital or clinic for my check-ups! On top of that, I will be monitored for the next 7 years of my life every 4 months with no money up front to pay! The simple thought of not paying any thing to my doctors, the hospital/clinic, and my numerous tests along the way will help me focus on my recovery. Aside from cancer remission, the best feeling is leaving the hospital and clinics without any fees to pay! Yes, you just say thank you and leave OUT THE DOOR! No long list of itemized fees to go over to check and pay first before being allowed to go home! THANK YOU, CANADA! ♥All the best to you Eireann, and take care! I am glad that you got your Canadian Health Card that entitled you to free healthcare here in Canada because we know how astronomical healtcare bills are for non-Canadians. PS: Your oncologist is really cool!
You look so beautiful!!! You should never worry about bringing people down. This is to help YOU!!! Please be assertive with doctors!! Oh thank God you can breathe!!!! Your hair is gorgeous!!!
ehhh, the viewers here are more important, both because of just sheer numbers, and also because a bunch of the viewers will ALSO have brain tumors of their own anyway. Not that we should always avoid ever talking about sad things though.
Good doctor! So glad you both got a picture and a hug
Éireann, you're totally amazing. Devin is one lucky guy to find an angel. Including mine, you got all of our hearts. It's so wonderful to see you kicking around and keeping others on their toes. Éireann, Miss Angel from Ireland. When you and Devin settle in Ireland, please give us a public P.O. box so we can send both of you letters and care packages. With 💖
I am so happy to see you!!! You look absolutely beautiful. I just checked the insta...Yay! I really don't get anyone seeing anything but sincerity in you. Some people are just to miserable inside and project onto others. So happy for your scans and other news ;)
Hi there! I got diagnosed with a low grade glioma in March (at age 35) out of the blue and had surgery a couple weeks later to have it removed. I'm following up with an MRI every 3 months. My first MRI since surgery came out good, and I'm due for my next one in September. A friend of mine told me about your channel and what you're going through. I just want to send lots of hugs and love and healing thoughts to you in your recovery. -Dave
Good to hear your update. Crazy that people dont believe you had surgery. I have had people tell me that i dont look like i had my surgery either but thankfully they have never said i was lying. Cant they just be happy that we were able to have good doctors that could do the surgery without having to shave our hair off. Having a great doctor has made all the difference for me also. I pray you will contune to have good results and get another great doctor. I have my 18month checkup next month also. Praying for good results
I’m so happy you had a good MRI. Sending you lots of hugs and prayers ❤😊🥹🇨🇦
So lovely to see you Éireann! Delighted to hear you’re doing well! Lots of love ❤
Awe so happy you’re doing well !! And girly your eyebrows look perfect ❤❤much love from Canada 💕💕
That is like so crazy the man who operated on YOUR BRAIN!! Had a drink with you!!!
Always appreciate hearing good news.
Might not realize but we only have fourteen neurosurgeons in the entire province. You really got lucky 🍀
Hello, beautiful! 🌷 I actually thought about you the other day and went on your channel to see if there were any new videos that I might have missed. So happy to see you and to hear about your MRI results! Lots of love and super positive vibes from Italy! ❤️💪💪
So happy for you! My son just got home from a vacation all over Ireland! He loved it! So happy you are feeling so well! 😍👏🙏🏻
Omg! The synchronicities of life❤ A drink with your neuro surgeon ❤
Eireann, you look fantastic! Really glad you’re doing well. Keep up the positivity! x
I love you Éireann! You and Dev are wonderful people! The way you carry yourself and interact with even your physician are remarkable for your age. I'm so happy that I stumbled across your video's. You are a blessing to know and a blessing to anyone going through the very same thing you had gone through. I will pray for you and Dev for the rest of my life!❤🫂🙏
Love seeing your beautiful smiling face! Great story! Thanks for sharing. Continuing prayers for you!
I watch your videos because you are sooo incredibly strong. You always look on the bright side and it’s extremely humbling (in a very good way). Thank you for sharing your journey!
Thank you for the update. I genuinely worry about your health and am glad to your updates. Keep them coming!
I am so thrilled that you are doing so well. I think of you often. Lots of love 🩷
Thank you for the update. How lovely you got to spend an evening with your surgeon after a random encounter.
What a cool story! Keeping you in my prayers!! You look lovely and so glad your hair is growing! 🩵
You look so healthy! Thanks for the update on the good news with your latest scan! And how cool is that, having a casual chat with your neuro surgeon, the one and only, that has actually been into yr brain..Have a really nice weekend!🌸
I love this update, and you look phenomenal! The sharp sensation in your forehead like glass/needles is likely nerve damage which will hopefully improve over the next few months to years and become a little bit more bearable with contact🤞🏻try and touch the area as much as possible as it usually helps in the long run.
We get on well with my daughter's neurosurgeon too, he is like family, his office even has pictures up that my LO has done for him and his latest gift from her was a clay brain she made though he couldnt decide whether he wanted to keep it at work or take it home 😂
You look incredible, and I'm so happy things are going so well for you!
IT is good to see you so well. I'm happy for you. God be with you.
Don’t listen to people who don’t know what they are talking about
That's such a sweet story about your doctor. Glad you seem to be doing well and I hope the issue you were talking about gets better.
Nice To see you and hear about your progress. Wish you all the best
Thanks for sharing. So nice of you to have a drink with your neuro surgeon❤
It shows in the video that you are more relaxed. So good to see that. I love good news so thanks for sharing. Back on top and looking sharp.
Good to hear your good news! Sorry you had such a painful experience with your headaches; glad it’s much better now.
I thought you were going to tell a joke with the bar. Eireann, Devin and friends walk into a bar. They meet a brain surgeon……….. 😊
Thank you so so much ❤ and that's a great way to look at it lol I will defintely be using that joke!! 😂
I love that you got to see your doctor again and have a visit.
Happy for you my dear for a good report from the MRI. I appreciate my Dr as well. He's so good and doing so well. GOD richly bless him🙏🏾
so happy to see a new video! feels like catching up with a friend! and p.s. your eyebrows just give model vibes 🤩
Glad to hear from you and learn some positive results! But also, you don't owe anyone anything, please take all the time you need and don't feel like you need to share things you aren't comfortable sharing. I'll be here whenever you're ready to upload, and I wish you the very best!
I'm super happy to hear you are doing a lot better now!
The nerve pain you are getting around your eyebrows reminds me a lot of my mothers pain after her brain injury. She was offered Botox first and then put on Pregabalin to help with the pain. If you arent on something already that could be worth looking into. ❤
Yes I am on Pregabalin (Lyrica ) 3x day and it’s a miracle I don’t have excruciating pain in head with it . I couldn’t even touch my head.
Your eyebrows literally look amazing and perfect just like you.
Also what an amazing experience you got to have with your surgeon. What a nice guy. ❤
Also totally understand that there are things you would rather not share. It's your life, you don't owe us anything! We are just here to support and love on you because we can see you are special and we care.
Glad you got good news and good results, too! Éireann, don’t worry about what silly negative ppl say
I’m very glad & relieved to hear your update. Thanks & Good Health! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I HAVE BEEN WONDERING HOW YOU HAVE BEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Prayers and Good wishes!!
I'm so sorry for taking so long!! Thank you 😊
haha i saw the picture of you both on your story, how cool! i’d love to run into my neurosurgeon and chat to him, i really appreciate all that they do 😭
So... you are amazing in how you are helping people and how you have reacted so well through your whole ordeal. You are also a beautiful young lady with a beautiful smile. This may sound weird, but I can't stop looking at your perfect smile and teeth. Ha! Anyway, my wife and 2 kids are traveling from the US to Ireland in like 9 days. So I now know how to use the word "craic" , "lovely" and "grand". I always wanted to see where my family was from, which is Aughnicliffe and Fostra. So we are flying in to Dublin, heading down to Kinsale, over to Dingle (I think I'll love there), Galway, then west of Sligo, then Roscommon (near where my O'Connor and Ward family lived 120 years ago), then back to Dublin and fly out the following day. I'm binge watching your videos. You are really craic, lovely, and grand! How'd I do?
So good to see our Irish lass ☘️ you look extra beautiful! What a wonderful neurosurgeon you have! He obviously cares about you very much! I’ve been worried so I’m glad you checked in. Thank you for taking the time . 🙏🏻 prayers for healing
Your sharing is so sweet! Someone in my advocacy and caregiving has been dealing with a similar situation to yours. It is so good to get input and experiences from others in the same boat. Take care of yourself, and share only what you wish to--it's your choice, and you are so kind in how you share.
Your’re back! You still look great. Hang in there.
like there could be very visible in your face proof and people will sadly still go out of their way to assume and accuse bc they have no lives and no hearts. it's quite literally a little bit insane. just ignore them. lol but i'm glad you continue to look on the bright side of life despite the ups and downs, you're a total inspiration for us all. continue to stay strong spirited and thanks for blessing us with this channel. your face (including your brows) and hair are flawless imo!
All best wishes to you, sweet girl. Everyone here on this site is on your team. ❤
The problem with being in the public eye is that you always find weirdos. Ignore the nasty comments. I'm so impressed with your positive attitude. I'm happy to hear that things are improving. I know that this has nothing to do with your health and life challenges, and I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I'm just going to say the obvious - you are absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. Not stalking, just appreciating and sharing. Good luck with your move to Ireland.
I agree! Her hair and eyes , like an angel !
Such a sweet surgeon omg
Lovely to see you again Eireann! And looking so well too! Thanks for the update. Take care of yourself! Love from the UK xx
You're absolutely beautiful and I'm glad you're doing better. Stay strong.
Keep up the good work you’re beautiful amazing and talented. Don’t let no one get you for who you are because you’re gorgeous. If you need to take a break, take a break don’t let people judge you because you wanna take a break. You’re adorable. You’re one of a kind.
So happy to see life is returning to a more normal setting for you. Best wishes for your hime home too.
Wishing you the best of health and life Eireann!
I have been wondering how you are! So great to hear from you and find out that you've been out chilling with your doctor. ;) Looking forward to more updates.
Currently waiting up to 21 weeks in the UK jn the nhs system for a colonoscopy and mri, after hospital admission where I nearly died from internal infection from whatever the hell is inside my stomach, 12 years of this, and I’m still waiting, getting weaker and just so fed up with the UK health system. Hopefully I don’t die before it’s too late. Thank you for being brave and sharing aerinn, I’ll be honest, it’s been a very lonely place, nobody to talk to about this awful feeling of not knowing.
What a lovely, positive, brave and beautiful young woman she is.
No need to ever apologize, you post when you feel up to it.
Happy that you had some good scans and that's interesting, and fun, that you met your doc and had a drink together 🙂
I'm sure you've heard this a million times so please let me be the million and one time that you've heard it, try to ignore anyone who says you are lying, or anyone who is ever rude to you.
Good luck moving ahead, I think you're going to do great.
btw, I've never looked or paid attention to your brows until you said 'don't look' ... lol
Eireann you look STUNNING!!!! your hair is angelic; your eyebrows look perfectly fine. I luv your Irish accent and I'm glad you're feeling better. I have a mild form of Epilepsy and have had several seizures, so I know how terrible they are and feel. Good luck to you, if I see you in a pub, I be sure to buy you a Guinness.
Thank you so so much for your kindness 😊 I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you've been doing well and don't have a seizure for a looong time ❤️
Yes, I've been feeling fine and haven't had a seizure for some time now. I take my Keppra every day and just hope for the best.
So so happy to hear about the good MRI results! I don’t understand why people would say that you are lying, I can bark at them if you want! Love from Bosse 🐾 and my Mum 😊
It’s wonderful to see you again, I have thought of you often. Having a good relationship with your Doctor is so important. I pray you continue with good health, hugs from South Carolina ❤
Thank you for updating those of us who aren't on other social media. So glad to hear good results!
I appreciate that you have the captions turned on. Irish accents are difficult!
It was so cool you got to see your surgeon.
And I think that your eyebrows look fine. I don't even notice them. I'm sorry they hurt but I didn't even notice anything about them. Your hair is so beautiful.
Dear Éireann, it's so good to see you post again. I think a lot of us were getting really worried about you. It does sound like good news about the MRI and your breathing getting back to normal. You've obviously got a very good relationship with your neurosurgeon as well and how nice of him to get all your drinks after your chance encounter in the bar! It's a pity you can't take him back with you to Ireland. It's understandable if you don't feel like posting about everything that's going on in your life. We have no right to know these details yet I suppose we do want to know, simply because we care so much about you now. I would love to emulate your neurosurgeon and give you a hug and Devin too! You're both amazing people and you clearly have such a strong bond between you which will give you both so much strength in the weeks and months ahead. Also remember how much love and support you have got on here. I'm appalled that you're still getting trolled and disbelieved by a small handful of idiots. Take no notice of them, if you can, they are not worth a moment of your time. With love and best wishes, Rob (and daughter Soph) in North Wales xx
Really good news, I'm so happy. And what a beautiful encounter with your surgeon!!
Wishing you all the best!! ❤❤ Oh, and you look beautiful, also your eyebrows!! 🇺🇾🫂🫂
Great to see you! So glad you have recovered so beautifully!
Thanks for posting this update. I kept checking... Like most folks who watch your videos, I wish you 100% healthy. Scammers are out there, but it is obvious that you are not one of them. I'm glad for the good news about your recent MRI.
so happy to hear about your good results!
You looking great ❤️ glad to hear you happy 😊
So good to see you improving so much. Good man, your neurosurgeon! Sending you virtual hugs and blessings on your next phase of the recovery journey ❤️🙏
I was thinking of you and out of nowhere theres a new video 💙 thankfully you are doing well and it‘s always good to see you 💙 hugs and prayers all the way to you
It's so great to hear from you! Glad you're doing okay, keep it up. Your strength in the face of all this is inspirational.
Éireann! I was thinking about you yesterday, and here you are. You look as beautiful as ever. And now you are a blonde! A fantastic blonde!
Finally, a bit of good news. I'm so happy for you. Even the smallest thing is a ray of hope.
Remember, no one truly knows the future. There is always hope.
Peace and happiness! 💕💕💕
Dear Pincess, Im sooo happy for you. Im lot older than you , 55 and at 16 I have had first brain operation due to cerebral palsy that I was born with and second at 22 . But none f it was sucessful. I do not regret. Hair ?30 years ago i was bold twice but my hair has grown. Who cares about hair when those ops on brain advanced and you are way better without that stuff in your head? Keep being positive .I corrected my posture and muscles by constant physical therapy , Im university professor with two lovely daughters. People who critisize you because you have beautifull hair obviously do not know how medicine has advenced in that field. You have nothing to prove to anybody because you are now fine,
Sending prayers and blessings to you, Eireann.
This update makes me happy. I've been worried, not going to lie. Happy to see! Have a grand day!
Eireann what a great video. You have such a lovely personality. I feel like we are friends that have known each other for years. I know that’s probably weird to hear when you don’t know me. I’m glad your scans are heading in a good direction and you’re feeling ok! I hope whatever you’re having to process gets easier to deal with and figure out. Stay strong…. You are beautiful inside and out and you are doing everything you can it will be okay!!!! May have a couple hiccups but you got this girl!!!!!! We love you and keeping up on your videos. Take care❤
Thanks for the update -- really nice story about meeting up with the surgeon. Keep your positive energy. Looking forward to your next video. Prayers sent your way!
You look beautiful! Glad to get this update; I pray for you every night. 💜
Glad to see your doing well Eireann 💚
I have so much nerve damage in my face and neck from all my surgeries and it feels very similar. It either hurts or it's numb. I wonder if maybe you just have nerve damage there 😢 I'm so happy to see your update! Stay strong, beautiful
All the very best Girl your positivity is inspiring.
