Hi @lisalucier No I haven’t spoken with him yet. How am I feeling emotionally through all of this…It was complete shock when I found out about them. They found two and I had a surgery for those. I woke up to find out that they found four more. Then the second surgery, the craniotomy was done eight weeks ago. He said he could get three, possibly four then. But he only got one bc of where they were located. So now I’m facing this third surgery. He said he should be able to get the last three. But I’m not having much hope of that since it didn’t work out to get the amount he said in the first two. But I’d rather him be cautious than playing all Nilly Willy up in my head.
My emotions have been crazy. So nervous before surgery and then instead of healing and it be treated and I move on, I always remember that I’m healing only to have it done again and again. I’m depressed a lot. My doctor says it’s very uncommon for someone to have six. And I’m worried that this will be the thing that takes me out. Multiple, treated and yet to be treated. The chance of them leaking, rupturing, etc, my chance is times six. Also dealing with the issues I’ve stated having post op.
For this one, he plans to go in through a catheter into the right side of my brain and treat those. Then back out to around heart level and go into the left side to try and get that one. I’m scared once again. Working in both sides of my brain at once doesn’t sound too good. Sorry for the book. I’ll stop now 😊 And thank you for asking!
