It was a meningioma tumor. The procedure was basically them drilling holes in my brain, cutting the bone in the way of the tumor and then getting as much of it out as they could. I was told that they got 95% of it. I just wanna stop hurting, be able to work again, drive again,etc. Yes I've had suicidal thoughts because of the pain and not getting anywhere with my doctor or anyone.
