Recovery support needed

Hello everyone, my name is Svetlana, and I am 40 years old. I've never asked for help from anyone like this, rather trying to help myself. Here is my story.

My dream was to do charity work. To help young kids. So, I got a job as a learning support assistant. For 8 years I have been working with autistic children, because I truly believed that I could set their lives on a better path, but, unfortunately, something scary changed mine.

On March 6, I became very sick, and lost consciousness… so we called an ambulance.

The doctors did a CT scan, and it revealed a large tumour. The size of a tennis ball in the midbrain.

No idea how you can survive with something like this. It was a horrible diagnosis, and the surgery would have quite a low chance of success. So, to save me and relieve the pressure, they drilled two holes in my head - it was only the first surgery. My second surgery was the next day, and it lasted for 11 hours.

Unfortunately, they were not able to remove it fully.

Luckily, I survived and had a good recovery, but the right side of my face is completely paralyzed. I cannot open my right eye. Doctors said they were not surprised, because, after this very risky surgery, not everyone can survive it in general. This was completely unexpected, I always kept a good lifestyle, I never smoked, and I never drank alcohol.

As a mother of 3 kids, I hope and dream that I will support them for as long as I can. Therefore, recovery is crucial to me, and I will need a very lengthy one, where results are not guaranteed.

Thank you for your support.
