Surgery for pilocytic astrocytoma: When will I feel like myself again?

We're talking almost 30 years since my brain surgery! OMG! Do you believe it?! I'm doing great other than being put back on seizure medication 6 years ago after having a grand mal seizure. I remember telling myself that I was going to beat this thing. I remember telling myself that I needed to be there for my 5 year old son. I believed. My son is now in his 30's. He graduated from college 10 years ago & is doing very well for himself. I will always be there for him, but I will also always be there for anyone else who has been told, "You have a brain tumor."

It's been over 3 years since my surgery. I went on to finish my doctorate and am now an Urgent Care Provider. I am very blessed. I am always here to talk if anyone needs a friend. God Bless

What a wonderful story, @lynda1992, and exciting news that you are generally doing great 30 years after brain surgery and you've been able to be there for your son. You for sure are needed to walk alongside others who are told they have a brain tumor.
Do you remember any specific things others did for you after your brain surgery that were particularly helpful to you?
