An integrative-practice professional delayed her brain surgery five months to pursue lifestyle approaches, manage three businesses, and get a second opinion that led her to a surgeon in Arizona. She prioritized community and informed choice while preparing for the procedure.
So I wasn't going to rush into some hasty decision. And being in the integrative world that I am, I just knew there was a lot of things that I could do to either shrink the brain tumor or to just prepare my body for surgery. And so just. But also, like, life wise, you know, I own three businesses. At the time, I had to get my husband access to the business. I wanted to enjoy the holidays. So much of healing and life is community and living life. And, you know, and so I waited five months before my brain surgery, which most people don't really get that opportunity, which that gave me time to find the surgeon that I ultimately went to in Arizona. So I was able to get second opinions and learn about the different approaches.
