Amazing news. What a brilliant doctor and his specialist team. The advances in medicine and technology helped save this man's life and faculties. We are truly living in a golden age where this is possible, which wouldn't have been a few years ago. Now only if we stop screwing up the other things, it would be great.

So so true. My dad had a brain tumor removed two years ago that stretched 6 inches from behind his ear all the way to the top of his spine. When the doctor originally saw it he said things were looking very bleak but the dude pulled off the surgery and dad is now healthy and happy. Just had his annual follow up scan last week and he is still in the clear.

Amazing to know your dad is doing well. Give him well wishes from an internet stranger.

Didn't they do the same during lobotomy and still screwed it up sometimes? What makes it different now?
