Simone Giertz describes her radiation treatment while making some art
The Queen of Shitty Robots took a break from making more shitty robots to chat about her experience with radiation treatment and make some not-so-shitty art.
After undergoing surgery to remove a brain tumor last year, YouTuber Simone Giertz went through six weeks of radiation treatment to target the parts of the tumor surgery couldn't reach. When she completed the treatment, she was allowed to take home the mesh mask used to keep her head in place during the treatment. What better activity to commemorate a recovery than turning your leftover medical equipment into weird wall art?
In her latest video, Giertz turned her brain tumor souvenir into a dazzling LED-backed wall hanging, joking that she was making "shitty art out of shitty situations."
SEE ALSO: Simone Giertz didn’t let brain surgery stop her. What’s next?"Oh fuck, this looks so bizarre," she said, trying on the mask in a mirror. "But also very New York fashion week."
Giertz noted that cancer and tumor treatments were especially bizarre given current medical advances, since radiation and chemotherapy try to "slowly kill your body and hope the tumor dies first." After rounds of radiation, Giertz said she couldn't taste salt and felt high all the time.
"I was like, 'everyone around me is acting so weird," she said in the video. "Which is probably a good indicator that you're the weird one."
She was also prescribed Alzheimer's medication to prevent dementia after radiation damaged her brain, and later found out that people used it to get high.
"For the last three weeks I've just been tripping balls on Alzheimer's medicine," Giertz said. "Which is a sentence I never thought I'd get to say."
With the radiation mask set in resin and mounted to the wall, she also said she was grateful that she was able to ask her friends for help during the treatment.
"[It] did not give me superpowers, which I know disappointed some of you," she concluded. "But something that's almost like a superpower is being able to look back at this year, and everything that happened, and that I kind of managed to get through it. No matter what's ahead of me, I trust myself to maybe get through that, too."
