Post-diagnosis, Fürst experienced intense 'lightning pains' in her right body and a persistent ringing in her ears. Medical tests revealed that the tumor had spread to her ear canal.

Meningiomas, the type of brain tumor diagnosed in Fürst, are usually treated through surgery, radiation therapy, or a combination of both, depending on the patient's overall health and tumor characteristics. Helena Fürst's decision to forgo surgery might be due to various factors, such as tumor size, location, or patient preferences.
