Brain tumor removed now expectations with recovery, radiation, work

Posted by mrC25 @cjr25, May 1, 2023

My tumor was removed 4/17 and it sounds successful. I realize full resection is not likely but initial feedback was encouraging. As I'm recovering, I'm interested in what I can expect in first 4 & 6 weeks of recovery. What to not be frustrated with, what to expect, what to push, what not to, etc. Radiation will start in late May so wondering what to expect the impact radiation will be on my mood, energy, daily motivation, eating, etc. Maybe too optimistic, but working 100% remote and have flexibility, wondering if work is realistic (fulltime, parttime). I Google things but also try to avoid the "rabbit holes" of information. Just so many questions, thanks in advance.

@randallshields56, as do you. You are a great support for people dealing with hearing the scary words "it's a brain tumor." You know first hand what that is like and can walk virtually alongside them. That means a lot! Thank you.
