[00:00:00]Dude, there's a huge tumor right beside you. Bro, are you okay? Hey, what are you doing? Look, if we don't remove this tumor now, it could spread to your side and that would be much worse. All right, [music] just be careful. Don't hurt him.

[00:00:18]Hmm, something doesn't look right. The tumor has already damaged the brain tissue underneath it. We'll have to remove that part, too. No way. Are you serious? Yes, you can survive without the temporal lobe, but there will be some effects.

[00:00:36]What kind of effects are you talking about? Not major [music] physically, but you might have trouble remembering what just happened. Doc, who are you? Are those your kids? Your husband had a brain tumor in the temporal lobe. We removed [music] the tumor along with the damaged tissue around it. That area helps with memory and recognizing people, [music] so he may have difficulty remembering recent events or recognizing familiar faces.

[00:01:00]With therapy and time, [music] some functions can improve, but memory may still be affected.
