YouTubers and viewers have thrown their support behind Nate The Lawyer as the creator underwent a grueling brain surgery to remove a tumor.
On November 16, YouTuber Nate The Lawyer revealed he was going to need emergency surgery to remove a “massive” tumor in his skull.
According to Nate, he was out with his family when he suddenly fainted and required medical attention.
“They found this huge mass in my head,” he revealed. “This mass was pushing on my brain, causing a lot of neurological issues. I couldn’t sleep. I was passing out. I was forgetful. I was confused about a lot of things.”
Nate explained that after speaking to the neurologist, if he didn’t get it taken care of, the tumor would become life-threatening.
Scared, the YouTuber thanked his audience and the platform for changing his life, prompting many in the community to send their best wishes and prayers to Nate, who accepted them with open arms.
“I am scared, but we get to test if prayer works,” he said in one of his final updates before surgery. “I bet it does. There are no atheists in foxholes. This is one hell of a foxhole.”
