Hi, good to hear that the headache is gone. Hopefully you won’t have to be on steroids for too long; they can cause some issues. They made me temporarily diabetic. Strangely, I didn’t have any headaches. But the large tumor size and the edema and swelling were making me slowly go insane. My symptoms were similar to stroke or dementia. I’m lucky I didn’t have a stroke. Emergency craniotomy surgery was done a few days after the tumor was discovered. That was 10 months ago. Went home using a walker two weeks after surgery after a long period of physical and occupational therapy. I was walking unaided and biking two weeks after getting home. I had follow-up radiation treatment in the summer. For me the treatments were easy with just some minor hair loss at the temple. It’s starting to grow back 3 months after finishing treatment. I’m doing fine now, no after effects except the incision is a bit irritated. This may be lifelong as I have some surgical scars from more than 40 years ago that still get irritated. Plus I get to look forward to periodic MRI’s for the rest of my life. Huzzah! Since everyone’s case is different, I can’t predict what the neurosurgeon will recommend. Sorry for the long post. Good luck with the appointment.
