A man who was told by a doctor that his brain tumor could not be operated on got a whole new chance at life after refusing to give up.

Air Force veteran Tyler Nuttle was given devastating news in July 2022 which would change his life forever.

The 32-year-old very much thought his life was over when he was told that he had an inoperable brain tumor.

Ahead of the diagnosis, the Ohio man had suffered issues linked to the tumor.

He was medically discharged from his role as a staff sergeant in the Air National Guard due to the issues it was causing.

It also left him nauseous, occasionally unable to stand and unable to drive in 2021.

Hoping to get treatment or surgery, the situation was made more heartbreaking when doctors told him there wasn’t much they could do. They could only offer chemotherapy and radiotherapy in hopes of stopping it from spreading.

Nuttle’s friends and family raised money for him as his health worsened at home in Hamilton County. He also spoke of the crushing heartbreak as his young son, Jaxson, didn’t understand why his dad was ill.

“I haven't been able to run with my son who is almost five, and that's been hard because he's really active. It's literally hard to keep up with him, ”Nuttle said.

However, not satisfied with his doctor’s answer, 18 months later, he went for a second opinion at the UC Medical center in Cincinnati and was given life-changing news.

“The very first appointment they were able to say they can take it out,” Nuttle said.

“I couldn't believe it because I was told for almost a year and a half this is inoperable, so it didn't even cross my mind going to a different doctor would change anything,”

“I just thought it was a universal truth.”

In February, doctors successfully removed the tumor, and Nuttle is now recovering from surgery in the Cincinnati Rehabilitation Hospital in Blue Ash.

“It got to the point where I'm like I can't give up. There's so much I needed to fight for,' he told WLWT.

He is now looking forward to being able to run with his son and return to college and work.

Nuttle’s mother, Ruth Campbell said she hopes his story inspires others not to give up hope and to find ways out of difficult situations, even if they feel impossible.
