The Day Before – Emily K’s Story

Emily K is just 19 years old, and tomorrow she will undergo surgery to remove her pineal gland. In this emotional pre-op interview, Emily opens up about her experience living with a symptomatic pineal cyst, her long journey to find answers, and what it feels like to face a surgery few doctors acknowledge — but that could finally give her relief.

This is a rare and powerful conversation recorded the day before her life changes.

We’ll reconnect with Emily in a follow-up episode after her surgery to hear how recovery goes and how her symptoms evolve.
