40 years Post-Op: Rosaline's Story

At thirty-nine, Rosaline’s life changed forever when an acoustic neuroma diagnosis led to a marathon surgery that left her with single-sided deafness, facial paralysis, and lasting challenges with vision and memory. What followed was not only a long physical recovery but also the unraveling of her marriage, the reinvention of her career, and a deep search for resilience. With courage, humour, and faith, Rosaline rebuilt her life—choosing to face limitations with determination, acceptance, and love. Now, forty years later, she shares her journey in the hope that others will feel less alone and more inspired to keep moving forward, even when the path wobbles.
