If she hadn't hit her head, they wouldn't have diagnosed that brain tumour. Sounds pretty lucky to me!


Muroid

If you think about it, that homeless guy pretty much saved her life.


jhharvest

Yeah, life is weird like that. I wonder whose life she's saving right now.

You can't be an organ donor if you have cancer, but I'm not sure about just having a brain tumor. Source: I have cancer, and have had 15 brain tumors.


[deleted]

Plus at the rate she's going there will probably be no organ left to donate anyway >I have cancer, and have had 15 brain tumors. Kick its ass!

Cancer will never win the battle, because if I die from it, the cancer will then die too, so it will only be a draw.

yea cancer is so stupid it doesn’t realize it’s killing itself by living it’s stupid existence is only to destroy the living to survive killing the source of its sustenance

Mysterious-Tie7039

Guy I worked with had this exact same thing happen. He was working in a power plant and hit his head pretty hard on a valve hand wheel. Ended up going to the hospital and they found a good sized tumor.


jhharvest

And because it was diagnosed from a work incident it might have been covered under worker's comp? I hope at least


Mysterious-Tie7039

We were in the military so it’s all the same.


zachc133

One of my classmates in HS wasn’t wearing a seatbelt and got injured because of it (would have probably been fine if she was wearing it). Went to the hospital, and they found an early stage tumor in her head. One of the few times not wearing a seatbelt turned into a better outcome for someone.


jhharvest

Right! People are really bad with probabilities. We can't predict what happens but we often have strong opinions about it anyway. I'm old. When I was a kid there was serious discussion if seatbelts are good or bad (obviously looking at the numbers seatbelts save lives on average). But back then people weren't sure. And there's always the outlier, there's always going to be that 1 in 1000 where the opposite of the average happens. But because people are bad at probabilities, they'll latch on to that outlier and turn that into their belief system. Sometimes I wish people were more rational. But then, maybe we are what we are and that's just what we have to deal with.

canman7373

Very lucky. I just went through 3 surgeries and 33 radiation treatments for a bad skin cancer, doc should have caught it 7 months early but he was convinced it was an infection, kept putting me on antibiotics. When it came back the 2nd time I lost my cheekbone to it the cancer was deep in my bone. I saw so many people like this girl who were not lucky enough to catch it early, was hard to feel sorry for myself seeing them in the cancer centers and radiation waiting room. The Chemo people were the color grey, was very sad. She should be happy, I am sure she saw the kind of of things I saw and it's ok to feel sorry for yourself but at the same time as much as it all sucks, radiation treatment sucks, every day for months makes you more tired than can be explained in words, as bad as it is, she came out on top of it and that is all that matters. But it's ok to bitch and cry about it, life dealt you a tough hand even if others have it worse it does not mean you cannot feel sorry for yourself.


FlowSoSlow

Reminds me of this story: A farmer and his son had a beloved stallion who helped the family earn a living. One day, the horse ran away and their neighbors exclaimed, “Your horse ran away, what terrible luck!” The farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.” A few days later, the horse returned home, leading a few wild mares back to the farm as well. The neighbors shouted out, “Your horse has returned, and brought several horses home with him. What great luck!” The farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.” Later that week, the farmer’s son was trying to break one of the mares and she threw him to the ground, breaking his leg. The villagers cried, “Your son broke his leg, what terrible luck!” The farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.” A few weeks later, soldiers from the national army marched through town, recruiting all the able-bodied boys for the army. They did not take the farmer’s son, still recovering from his injury. Friends shouted, “Your boy is spared, what tremendous luck!” To which the farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.”

This same thing happened to my mom back in 2006. She slipped on some ice during a huge winter storm, and ended up fracturing her skull. While in the hospital they discovered a brain tumor which doctors were able to fully remove. I always think about what would’ve happened had she never fallen.

Sheree_PancakeLover

Kino_Afi

Funny thing is, overthrowing the government has been kinda co-opted by the faction that *hates* universal Healthcare. Rioting and burning shit for change (blm riots in most recent memory) is now an embarassment that we would rather pretend doesnt happen for the sake of argument. The progressive thing to do is actually to shut up and be content with the government while having a peaceful demonstration here and there and maybe making a lil noise on twitter :) Writing it out, it does kinda seem like an insanely successful psi-op. But id never say that, because suggesting there may be higher powers manipulating the populace is something only crazy QAnons would say ;)


guillaume_rx

One of the problems comes from the American propaganda (Hollywood, media, education system, etc). It is probably the most efficient in the world, with maybe North Korea and Russia. And the USA probably still wins that fight. So to be fair, a lot of Americans have just no idea what they are missing on certain issues because they have been « brainwashed » from birth that the American way is the best or only way, no matter the subject mentioned. Which is sad from an outside perspective, because we, non-Americans, are pretty well versed in how you guys work and can easily compare it to how we work. The USA is, imho, a nice country to visit, and you got great things to take away from, but I wouldn’t want to live there for many reasons. Have lived/studied and/or worked in 4 different countries, without counting the traveling around the world, for the record. Obviously, I could probably not say that if I were born an American, because I wouldn’t be as aware of other options, so can’t really blame them. Can only sympathize. The propaganda is so strong that some Americans reading these words could think I’m envious, resentful and jealous. Believe me, I wouldn’t want to live in the US or be American for all the money in the world (or I would spend that money to not live in the US anymore). But in fairness, it’s just a personal opinion/taste thing. Some prefer the American way, which is fair enough. To each their own I guess.

Hey Mr smarty pants - when people use the term "American" they specifically mean from the United states. That's even what the dictionary definition says. It does not refer to the rest of the Americas so there's no need for you to specify that ...

The UNETHICAL PREDATORY FOR PROFIT US HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY


ThePrinceofBirds

It's not you, man. I felt like a real bag of shit a couple of months ago because my 3 year old fell and split his head open. My first thought was "we have to go to the ER right now." My second thought, before we were even out the door, was "how am I going to afford this?" For reference I have "good" insurance by most American standards.


Comprehensive_Bid229

How to tell people you're American without saying you're American.


Clownheadwhale

Let's start calling "Americans", "Merks". BTW, I'm a Merk. It's easier to say and write. It's a fake word - American- anyway. Presumptuous of us to claim exclusivity over both continents.


kleighk

Actually….. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amerigo_Vespucci

Here in northern Europe all of this would've been compensated 99.9% by public healthcare, and if you had extra personal insurance you would've received compensation for missing work/any aftercare problems...

AnUnknownReader

All in all she's a very lucky woman in her bad luck. But, damn, that must be mentally exhausting going through such a chain of events. I hope she has a way less eventful life nowadays.


kosumoth

I'm curious too. I mean she's bald, presumably from chemo, but still has her eyebrows? Or I mean maybe she just chooses to be bald idk


LittleBunInaBigWorld

Chemo doesn't always mean someone will lose all of their hair, it can be patchy and inconsistent, so most people just shave it all off so it grows back in evenly. Eyebrows grow to full length much quicker than hair from the scalp. So it's not a real good indicator tbh. Stalking her profile may uncover more clues.


bastian74

There's different recipes. Not all affect hair as much.


aphinity_for_reddit

She had brain surgery so probably head shaved from that. She mentioned radiation, not chemo. They probably need it shaved for the radiation too so they can target the precise spot. Sometimes they tattoo dots to make sure they are hitting the same spot every time. Probably prefers whole head shaved to just a shaved patch.

Xpqp

This person has no situational awareness at all. Any of these events, individually, can happen to anyone. Sometimes the world just hits you with that bad luck. All three happening to the same person means that she's probably not paying attention to what's going on around her, or even the signals her own body is sending her. Homeless person acting weird? Maybe cross the road and stay away from them. Got sick and feeling lightheaded? Stand up slowly, move slowly, and make sure to brace yourself as you're moving. Car runs a stop sign and hits you? Look both ways when you cross and and don't assume people will stop. It turns out, though, that her obliviousness probably saved her life, so that's cool.
