It’s been a minute, so this episode is a catch-up and a reset. I’m talking honestly about my health, life after a meningioma, and what The Meningioma Cast is really about. This is a brain tumor podcast, a survivor story, and a real talk show about recovery, chronic pain, mental health, and the weird reality of living after brain surgery. It’s not for kids and it’s not sugar-coated. It’s for emotionally mature adults who can handle some cursing, some dark humor, and some honesty about medical trauma, scans, and learning how to live with a new normal. No hype. No miracle cures. Just the truth from my side of the scar. Everyone has a story. This one is mine.

Season 2 Episode 8

This week I’m talking neurologist visits, epilepsy medications, and the ongoing surgery aftermath that no one prepares you for. It’s a peek into the bureaucratic side of brain tumor recovery, the trial-and-error of meds, and the quiet reality of living with a disability that isn’t always visible.

If you’re navigating seizures, specialists, appointments, or the post-op rollercoaster yourself, you’re not alone. This episode offers the honest play-by-play — with the usual dark humor and refusal to sugarcoat — because real life after a brain tumor doesn’t fit the inspirational quote format.

This week on The Meningioma Cast, I’m rolling into another round of “life with a brain tumor,” starring, my upcoming surgery, insurance roulette, paycheck panic, and the usual meningioma ranting... all with the knee scooter parked nearby, front wheels polished.

Yep, we’re talking brain tumor reality, but don’t worry...it’s not doom-and-gloom. This is me still living with a meningioma, laughing at it, side-eyeing insurance companies, and wondering why disability paperwork feels like a scavenger hunt created by drunk bureaucrats.

If you’re living with chronic illness, surgery prep, neurological issues, invisible disability, post-tumor brain fog, or you just like hanging out with someone who doesn’t sugarcoat it — this episode is your flavor.

Yeah, I have a meningioma. Yeah, it’s a pain in the ass.

No, it doesn’t get to own the whole story.

So grab your coffee, your knee scooter, or your sense of humor... whichever you can reach first.

Hit play and hang out while we talk survival, surgery days, insurance shenanigans, and how to keep your head straight when your head’s got its own agenda.

Welcome back to the Brain Tumor Tribe — we laugh, we cope, we swear, we survive.
