Left Frontal Meningioma surgery recovery

Posted by julie1976 @julie1976, Feb 6, 2019

I'm looking for others who had this surgery and how their recovery is going.I had my surgery 5 weeks ago. Recovery is going well. I have questions for people who have longer recovery time

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Brain Tumor Support Group.

How long is the recovery? I’m at UCSF waiting to do follow up MRI.

So scary. I’m waiting for MRI results and follow-up with neurosurgeon now. You have really encouraged me to do this and not wait. It’s frightening what they may find. I had edema and it was 2.7 last December and they wanted to do it then. I wanted to wait until next MRI. PLEASE KEEP IN TOUCH.

I’d like to know how those who have gone through craniotomy are doing now as I’m faced with having surgery now for left frontal anterior 2.7 cm with edema in December 2025.

I was just diagnosed and need surgery. I, too am a golfer. Are you still playing golf and fish?

@as72 I have mild cognitive impairment as a result of the tumor. I had to retire on disability in 2015 because I couldn't retain information I read. Physically I am in good shape but mentally it takes me a bit to recall words or complete sentences. I became a widow in 2023 which hasn't helped the mental status. I hope you are doing well. Thanks for checking in.

I have trouble remembering things as well and have for quite awhile. I lose my train of thought. I hope it doesn’t get worse after having surgery. I’m sorry to hear you are widowed. I was widowed in 2021. It’s a very lonely life and now I have to go through this alone.
