Paul Walsh-Dalton

Paul Walsh-Dalton is a 44-year-old father of five from Ivybridge, UK, who made headlines after undergoing a remarkable awake craniotomy to remove 98% of a malignant brain tumor. During the five-hour surgery, he played guitar, performing popular songs while the surgeons monitored his cognitive functions in real-time. His experience has been described as surreal, and despite his diagnosis of a grade three oligodendroglioma, the successful surgery may extend his life by approximately three years.
