The Truth About Cancer
Dr. Charles Majors: I would—it’s been almost five, five and a half, six
years ago I started having severe headaches. And obviously what I do
I’m taking care of people every day with headaches. You know, so I’m
thinking, okay, its probably just coming from my spine and my nerves.
And I was getting adjusted. The headaches were doing phenomenal but
it kept coming back. I then finally started getting weak. I was losing
weight. I did some blood work and the blood, my white blood cells. I was
anemic, things were going on. At that point we knew something was
going on. I was diagnosed with Lyme disease at that time. So we started
taking care of the Lyme. I ran another test, still not feeling good, but ran
another Lyme test. The Lyme was clear. They cleared out the Lyme.
And so at that point I knew that it was time for an MRI.
So I had one of my doctors, who’s a friend of mine, whose wife is a
nurse, said its time to get an MRI. And I knew it. I knew I didn’t want an
MRI. I got an MRI about 3:30 in the afternoon, and I say the timing for a
reason. About 3:30 in the afternoon I had my MRI. They told me they’d
let me know the next day the results. I went home and I slept pretty
much 18 hours a day, 19 hours a day. I could barely stand up. I was
laying on the couch. And at that time I woke up to my wife and my oldest
son on top of me crying. And it literally was like someone died. And I
knew something was wrong at that time and my wife is crying and she
said, they already for the MRI. And I’m thinking I must have slept till—
I’m thinking is the next day already. It was an hour and a half, two hours
later. They literally, the radiologist held my x-ray up to the light, or my
MRI up to the light, looked at it and immediately saw two huge tumors
on my brain stem and I two small ones by the eyes. He said I needed to
get to Northwestern Hospital immediately. They didn’t even want me to
go through the night. They thought I literally wouldn’t wake up in the
morning. It was just that severe.
So I rushed to Northwestern immediately. It was about 5:30, got to
Northwestern around 6:30. When I got there—they assumed that this
was benign. You know, they had no—they did no other test yet but they
assumed this is going to benign. We’re going to go up there. You’re
young, you’re healthy. It’s going to—we’re not going to have any issues
with the surgery, so. But I had so much cerebral spinal fluid in the brain
because there was—the tumors were putting so much pressure on the
spinal cord. Like literally the spinal fluid couldn’t go down my spinal
cord. So all the spinal fluid would stay up here so that’s what would
create my headaches. So if I would lay down for a while and relax the
spinal fluid would be able to settle back down. And so they came in, I
walked into the room; my mother had driven about two hours quickly to
be there. I walked into the room; my mother and my wife were in there.
