Donovan Strain Secretly Battling Brain Tumor Since 2011
Donovan Strain has taken to social media to inform his followers of one of the hardest things he's ever had to deal with, which has come as a shock to everyone as it had been kept under wraps for over a decade. This is his story:
"I've been secretly battling a brain tumor on my cerebellum and brain stem since 2011. The last 6 years were hard, and the last 2 specifically, I'm really not sure how I fought the pain every waking second. I've just been keeping my eyes on the end game, staying patient and working with neurologists for years hoping one would be able to help. Over a week ago after waking up in the hospital I was sent to Keck Medical center at USC and somehow was fortunate by all definitions to get the greatest team of doctors assembled in the country to handle my case from neurosurgeons to anesthesiologists. I owe DR ZADA and the entire staff at Keck medical center at USC every step I take forward. They took me into brain surgery about a week ago and it went beyond perfect. I'm so so lucky. Truly beyond words. I owe everything forward to Dr Zada and Keck Medical Center at USC.
I've been in rehab recovering after brain surgery but I'll be back before you know it. I truly can not understate how indebted I am to DR ZADA and all involved at KECK MEDICAL CENTER at USC for seeing me, helping me and giving me a chance at a future on this planet. Thank you as well to my family and girlfriend who helped the entire time.
I'm so lucky. So grateful. Beyond appreciative.
See you soon friends."
Thanks for sharing your experience and, most importantly, for reminding us all to be strong and keep going no matter how hard life gets and to be grateful for every day we have with the people we love.
We wish you all the best and a buttery ass recovery!
