The journalist further said,

“They treated him for everything, ear infections, all kinds of stuff, and they said ‘Well, we need to rule one thing out. It’s a long shot.’ But the test came back and they said ‘You’ve got a brain tumor. It’s about the size of a golf ball and it’s got to come out.“

Afterward, Sheldon underwent a 9-hour-long surgery and it was a success, however, it brought some complications; including damage to his facial nerves causing partial paralyzing for a few months.

Around a month before their scheduled marriage, back in 1995, everything started to get normal.
