Hello! I am M. Maria Kim in South Africa, who had surgery to remove my brain tumor on September 28, 2010. I really thank God and thank all of you who have prayed for me worldwide. The surgery took 11 hours and 15 minutes. The root of the tumor was too close to the medulla, so 2.6cm of the tumor from the root remained. In December, three months later, it was burnt out by gamma radiation. Screening results in December last year showed that the remaining tumor has considerably reduced and looks to be in good condition. 

 

Currently, I go to the gym about three days a week and exercise for 30 minutes. However, whenever I increase the exercising time or intensity of the exercise, I experience some symptoms of being dizzy and/or feeling hollow and sick. So, I have been strongly recommended to take good rest and consistently exercise even though it has been 2 years and 5 months after the surgery.
