YouTube interview-style video titled "Brain Tumor Shock: How Healthy People Get Them" (uploaded by Robert Whitfield MD) featuring Taylor Dukes sharing a first-person account of being diagnosed with a brain tumor. Dukes reports clinicians told her the tumor had been growing for many years (she cites "maybe seven to eight years, maybe 10 years") and that an episode of immune suppression created the "perfect storm" that led to discovery/symptoms.

"Maybe seven to eight years, maybe 10 years," as she reports clinicians told her.

I think it really freaks people out when they hear, like, Taylor Dukes, the healthy person, had a brain tumor. But what I always like to remind people is in my neurosurgeon, neuro, oncologist, everyone have said this has been growing for years, so it didn't happen overnight. But it was the perfect storm with my immune system that was suppressed. You know, it had been growing for maybe seven to eight years, maybe 10 years, they said.
