It is sad.
She strikes me as a pretty strong person, though, and she's got an amazing sense of humor.

It shouldn't happen to a good person like her.

I only just learned about her recently because of my sons who are familiar with a lot of YouTubers, and then heard this news.

Simone is out of surgery and her doctors are very pleased with how everything went. She woke up long enough to make an inappropriate joke... so things are looking good.

I had a brain tumor. Then I had some brain surgery. Then I made a video about it. I've missed you.
Thank you for being here, and for all of your nice messages, terrible jokes and care packages. It's been an onslaught of love unlike anything I could ever have imagined. I wouldnt wish this experience on anyone, but all of you made it feel like a bizarre blessing. #brainblessed #tumorhumor #whothefuckuseshashtagsinyoutubedescriptions #apparentlyido
