Please help! just got diagnosed with brain cancer.

Hi my Name is Dustin Lobato, I've recently had a brain tumor removed. Our family would be very appreciative of any help we can get for holiday funding and personal bills. As well as getting a disability lawyer so our family can have some income with the brain damage I've gotten by the brain tumor I recently had surgery for. And spinal meningitis I had as a kid. It's been very hard for our family the last 5-6 years as I noticed my body loosing energy and stamina. I was getting any test I could to see what was going on with me but nothing ever came up on the blood tests, hormone tests and so on. So I eventually started working on my mental heath thinking childhood trauma was a cause for the way I was feeling and also seeing a specialist for the pain my body was in from the numerous surgerys I had in the past. 1 major one was tumors on my appendix wich lead to tumors growing on my intestines that had to get removed. The big and little intestines being cut apart and sewing back together. When I had spinal meningitis as a kid it caused severe spinal nerve damage and I think that was linked to me not feeling the full pain in my head and neck from the brain tumor pushing on my skull. I'm very grateful for the Neurosurgeon and their team getting me in and removing the tumor. Still waiting for the biopsy praying it's not the C word. The part of my skull and dura the tumor was pushing on thined it out to where the team couldn't stich the dura back because it was so frail and thin. The Neurosurgeon said my head is like a fishbowl, the water "spinal fluid" couldn't get out the top but could leak out where they couldn't mend the dura, the bottom of the fish bowl, all the way but did all they could to mend it. And could possibly leak in the future so there's alot of risks still unknown. I want to give a big shout out to all my family and friends that have stuck with us through these very difficult times in our lives! I'm beyond shocked of the prayers and love encouragement and help from every single one of you! So we humbly ask for any little help we can get! Please help us spread this information so our healing can be made a little easier without the financial stress we're currently in right now. Thank you everyone! we love you all! Keep the prayers coming
