“When I had brain surgery in May, they removed large portions of the tumor,” she said in the new video. “Something I haven’t talked about is there are still large parts of it left.” She was technically cancer-free, and her doctors believed it was safer to leave part of the tumor in the

places where it would be “dangerous to perform surgery,” she explained. Giertz thought the tumor might come back, but she didn’t expect it to do so only eight months after her initial surgery.

To combat the tumor, Giertz plans to undergo radiation therapy. “Monday to Friday for six weeks, I have to go the hospital and put this mask over my face to hold it in place and they are going to radiate my brain to hopefully damage enough of the tumor to discourage it from ever growing again,” she said. There are many potential side effects to this sort of treatment, including blindness, deafness, hair loss dementia. The success rate is 90 percent with her type of tumor, but she’s still extremely frightened about what could happen.

“I’m sick of being sick, and I have so many plans and projects I want to build. I was so excited for 2019,” she said,

admitting that she was reluctant to make this video because she didn’t want to be labeled “brain tumor girl.”

Giertz’s fans have been quick to show their support, with a post on Reddit gathering thousands of upvotes in a few hours. “Really, really hope that this treatment works and she doesn’t have any of the shitty side effects that she said might happen,” wrote one user. “She doesn’t deserve something as shitty as brain cancer for the joy and inspiration she gives to people,” said another.

Here’s hoping everything works out and Giertz is back to making ridiculous technology builds soon. If you would like to help the YouTuber, you can donate to her Patreon。

youtube用户西蒙·吉尔兹(Simone Giertz)方才颁布发表，她的脑瘤复发了。在上周五上传的一段视频中，这位28岁的男人模样形状严厉地盯着镜头颁布发表:“又是如许的一段视频。”

2018年4月，这位科技频道主持人颁布发表她患了脑瘤(她给它起名叫布莱恩[Brian])，今朝还不清晰这是不是会竣事她的生命。粉丝们明显很悲伤，在她接管手术时赐与了她大量的支撑。在接下来的几个月里，她的肿瘤彷佛获得了减缓，她的康健状态也很好，

但它又复发了。

她在新视频中说:“本年5月我接管脑部手术时，他们切除大部门肿瘤。”“有一件事我尚未谈到，那就是它依然有很大一部门遗留下来。”从技能上讲，她没有患癌症，她的大夫认为，把部门肿瘤留在“手术伤害”的处所会更平安，她诠释说。吉尔茨认为肿瘤可能会复发，但她没想到在第一次手术后八个月就复发了。

为了匹敌肿瘤，吉尔茨规划接管放射医治。她说:“从周一到周五的六周时候里，我都要去病院，戴上这个面具，把它固定在我的脸上。大夫将对我的大脑举行辐射，但愿能毁伤到足够的肿瘤，阻拦它再次发展。”这类医治有很多潜伏的副感化，包含失明、耳聋、脱发和痴呆。她患这类肿瘤的乐成率是90%，但她依然很是担忧会产生甚么。

“我厌倦了生病，我有太多的规划和项目要做。我为2019年感触很是愉快，”她说，并认可她不肯意建造这段视频，由于她不想被贴上“脑瘤女孩”的标签。

吉尔茨的粉丝们敏捷暗示了他们的支撑，他们在Reddit上的一个帖子在几个小时内就得到了数千人的支撑。一位用户写道:“真的，真的但愿这类医治有用，她不会呈现任何她说的可能产生的糟的副感化。”另外一位网友说:“她给人们带来的快活和鼓动，配不上像脑癌如许糟的工具。”

但愿一切顺遂，Giertz很快就会回到荒诞的技能构建上来。若是你想帮忙YouTuber，你可以捐赠给她Patreon。
