21st May 2025 - Petition Update & Patient Story 📕 (From 6 weeks old to nearly 25 years old) 

500+ Signatures AMAZING !!!!! Thank you 🙏 to each and every person who’s providing a Voice to many that aren’t with us today. Lending your Voice to those that have healed and moved on. 

🗣Look at Angela Bakers Son from the “Patients Protest Banner”…. From 6 weeks old, having to endure Brain Surgery under Dr Teo - To now being nearly 25! That’s nearly 25 years ago!

✔️1 of Professor Teo’s 11,000 Surgeries and still going! 

👏Its Parent’s like Angela that make that tough decision, knowing the consequences and only wanting normality as a Mother for her baby boy at 6 weeks old. 

💪We give HUGE KUDOS to Mums like Angela for paving the way, for making the Brain Tumour space easy to talk about, for being “that” Mum that listened to her heart and fought for her Son. We APPLAUD 👏 your strength! 

🧠 In May (and everyday) we honour Patients, Friends and their Family’s for their sacrifice, for their time, for their patience, for waiting for the unknown, for holding our hands, for understanding when others can’t, for holding our hair back when vomiting, for being silent when it’s needed, for keeping the kids from seeing the worst, for making every moment special, for NOT trying to be a “Superhero” in our story of life. For just being PRESENT 🙏

🗣If we see a diagnosis as a part of life, that’s okay. If it defines us, that’s okay. If it’s a fleeting thought, that’s okay. If you want to run instead of walking, that’s okay. If you want to stay snuggled in at home, that’s okay. If you want to forget and move on, then that’s okay. If you want to sprint, that’s okay to…. But if your crawling right now know it can get better. ❤️

❌No one can tell you how to deal with your own or someone you knows Brain Tumour diagnosis. All we can do is listen with no judgement and be there when the times needed. 

Dr Teo does just that! He allows “you” to have input into your own care. He supports in ways no other surgeon in Australia has! The Charlie Teo Foundation and their activity says it all. 

🗣We watch Dr Teo talk to the average person upto a Major Politician or Celebrity with empathy and with passion. He understands his patients on another level, by getting to know not just his patient but the “person” and the family behind and in front of the patient 💪 . Dr Teo will make and take those calls at 2.00am, travel far and wide to teach and at the same time still learn new ways with technology to increase Brain Cancer Survival Statistics 📈 . 

Dr Teo never professes to know EVERYTHING but he does profess to acting in the best interest of the patient, inform all parties involved of the outcomes and risk, learning and sharing from others across the Globe, owning his own success and outcomes and making the next surgery as accurate as possible. He’s MUST be precise to develop, design and implement “KeyHole Brain Surgery”! That requires significant accuracy. ✔️

❌He’s NOT GOD - He’s definitely NOT a Media Mogul and/or a Celebrity - Thanks to certain media representatives (sarcasm). Professor Teo has become a “Click Bait Headline” 

📰 He’s a Media “Story” to many but to the Common person and his patients, Charlie is just a normal human, like you and Us, wanting to make a difference to Brain Cancer Statistics, Longevity of Life and to build Research 🔬

🙏Thank you Dr Teo and Thanks to all the partners, families and friends that became  “Carers, Psychologists, Shoppers, Cleaners, Pharmacy Assistants, and Taxi Drivers” plus much more! 

❤️We Love and Appreciate you ALL!!!!
