Great news! My post-surgery brain MRI on 12/28/25 was great!!
“Findings: Interval removal of the right parafalcine meningioma. There is no evidence of recurrent or residual meningioma. No new intracranial mass.”
My surgeon did an amazing job and got the whole tumor!! I still need regular brain MRIs. Next one is due this fall. And after that, if I’m lucky it’ll be every 2 years, otherwise every year.
I have other imaging updates to share, but those will be in a separate post.
To celebrate the clean MRI, I’m excited to share a comic. My partner got it via email from a friend, and was really hesitant to share it. I found it absolutely HILARIOUS!!!
So I reached out to the UK-based artist who created it, and he generously gave me permission to share it!!!

You can also find the comic here on Facebook.
I will close with an unintentional pun story from my December follow-up with the surgeon that I promised in this post.
I explained:
Since 2022 (or even before), I felt fear. I didn’t really understand why. And psychiatrists kept giving me more meds…
When really I just needed them to cut it out!
My surgeon looked at my partner and smiled: “You see what she just did there?!”
I looked back and forth between the two of them.
“Get it? Cut it out!”
I groaned!! Got it.
(As an aside, as I groaned, I moved my head back and managed to hit my head against the wall behind me! I immediately asked my neurosurgeon if I could have damaged my brain by hitting my head. No, I was fine!)
But it does make the Twonks comic even better! Because every part of it is true. It was all in my head, and it was also a tumor!!!

Panel 1: A doctor with a clipboard talking to a patient: “I’ve reviewed your scans”
Panel 2: Just the doctor speaking: “It was all in your head”
Panel 3: Doctor and patient. Patient says: “Phew! So I was worrying for nothing?”
Panel 4: Doctor and patient. Doctor says: “No. It’s a brain tumour”
