I had tennis ball size tumor with craniotomy. I had very little discomfort after surgery except on my scalp which itches like crazy. Minor headaches that were helped by Tylenol. I didn’t really take anything stronger. I was given steroids so had major munchies for quite some time. I have eaten more tapioca pudding in a few days than want whole life I think. I was moved pretty quickly to rehab floor in the hospital and that was pretty intense and very helpful as I had some left side deficits. My tumor was right frontal lobe which I suppose is the best place to have it if u have to have one since it doesn’t interfere with too much. Or so I am told. I have now done a course of radiation and chemo. No mri for about 3 more weeks or so to give everything a rest from treatment and get amor accurate evaluation since it can appear that the tumor is back if done too early I have had burns on my forehead and head from radiation and tryingno get relief from it. Otherwise it has been relatively easy all things considered. I mean I had like you an alien living in my brain which is disturbing to say the least.
