I also was concerned about anesthesia . My Doctors at Mayo in Eau Claire said no the research doesn’t show it. I have my doubts.
I heard too many stories of patients having cognitive changes.

There is no red arrow in the research saying this anesthesia causes this impact. But I asked for as light an anesthesia as possible and one that is more easily reversed. I was 73 at the time and have strong family history of alzheimer’s.
The thing I wish could be managed is the long time between extracting the tumor and getting a pathology reading - and i was sedated all that time.

I would perhaps just ask anesthesiologist to be mindful of your concerns and make choices accordingly.
