But you will still remain asking how did he live with half a brain ??

The answer is that , he lost control of some his muscles on the left side as the right side of the brain was damaged but , after years his other side of the brain started to adapt and , control both sides alone

And now there are very rare surgerys were if a person has a cancer in his brain , they remove the infected side and people live with 1/2 a brain

I wanted to show you guys a photo but it was no bad so just imagine it
