Description
Justin, Scott & Spiegel catch up with “Brain Tumor Billy,” a listener who has been dealing with a brain tumor, multiple medical complications, surgery and the ongoing uncertainty that comes with his diagnosis.
The guys became familiar with Billy after he called in last week and told all about his life story, and the guys knew right there they'd be speaking to him again soon after.
Billy explains why he uses marijuana to help manage severe migraines and involuntary movements, and talks candidly about how his condition has affected his memory, emotions and personality. He also shares what it was like discovering the tumor in 2019 after experiencing a seizure and losing control of his left arm.
The conversation gets especially intense as Billy describes his surgery, the staples in his head, and the possibility of having to undergo another procedure so doctors can biopsy the remaining tumor. He explains why doctors have told him this will be a lifelong battle and discusses the uncertainty surrounding his prognosis.
But because this is Justin, Scott & Spiegel, the conversation doesn't stay serious for long. The guys look at photos Billy sent of his surgery and even get a look at the tumor that was removed.
