Lawyer Survives Giant Brain Tumor After Sudden Collapse

Houston attorney Nate Broughty, known online as 'Nate The Lawyer,' fainted and developed severe headaches, leading doctors to discover a massive brain tumor (meningioma).

Three months post-op scans showed no remaining tumor, and he is adjusting to life after surgery while doctors continue monitoring; the family had also faced his wife’s breast cancer diagnosis earlier in the year.
