Brian’s Tumor

When Brian was 9 years old, he got lost in the woods of Syria during a family vacation. When Brian emerged from the forest three days later, he had a mysterious growth on the back of his head. This is what we call Brian’s infamous tumor.

it is unknown why or how the growth of this tumor began, but the tumor’s effects on Brian have had unimaginable consequences on Brian’s everyday life. For starters, Brian has a permanent blind spot in the upper right corner of his vision. This causes him to struggle with his peripheral vision, making it easy for people to sneak up on him and spook him.

One of the most interesting Brian Tumor facts is that, as a result of the tumor, Brian shrinks in height by 0.001% with each passing day. It may not seem like much, but it adds up over time.

When asked about the future of his tumor and a possible operation to remove it, Brian said “That’s classified.” Perhaps Brian has come to think of his tumor as a friend, one that he is not quite ready to say goodbye to.
