Next morning, I was still wobbly. He stared at his face in the mirror and splashed it with cold water, thinking it would soon go away. But then he looked closer at his eyes and could see that his pupils appeared different, that the black circles in the middle of the eyes were colossal, as if I had been drinking heavily...
THIS CANNOT BE REAL
"You have a cyst on your brain stem". The neurologist informed him. He felt frozen at that moment. "It is located on a dangerous site we do not operate due to the risk involved" The doctor continued. But a million questions were rushing through his mind.
He started to get dizzy and nauseous. He was sent for another picture of his brain. The neurologist told him the cyst was growing in size, and they had no choice but to operate...
HE LOST THE ABILITY TO WALK AND WAS CONFINED TO A WHEELCHAIR.
It was late May 2008
Beaten up both physically and emotionally. That year he started a journey where he discovered his true self, regained control of his legs and his spirit.
Greg Siofer is now on a mission: to show others how they can do the same.
