At the clinic, he was repeatedly diagnosed with migraine. “In November of that year, I went to the psychologist and he closed my school year on November 9, because he said ‘this child is going to explode at any second. He can’t go on like this,” he recounted.
“On Tuesday, November 13, 2018, I woke up with a headache. I tell my mom and she’s like, ‘what’s weird? If she is not going to school why would she make this up to me now, ”she recalled.
The cheerleader asked her son to go take a bath to clear his head a bit and then come back to tell her how he felt. While he was on his way to the bathroom, Máximo began to feel worse and even vomited.
“I look in the mirror, I look at myself and I say, ‘This is not right,’” he said.
Once once more, he went to the clinic where he registered a fever of 37.1, which is the same one that he had had almost every day in recent weeks.
On that occasion, he was once more diagnosed with migraine. “There my mom said, ‘no’. She spoke to the doctor and told her: ‘Do all kinds of tests, whatever, because it’s the seventh time we’ve come here and they give you the same diagnosis,’” she recounted.

“I was 14 years old, they removed the frontal lobe of my head, and nobody knew what to do with me. I was lucky it came out superficial and they were able to get it out. I owe my life to the doctor, for this shocking operation, where I was able to remove the tumor. He is the main savior,” he added.
