@jkenser I saw your post and had to reach out. I’m a nurse, no longer working in nursing after my surgery in 2024. Same type of tumor as you but cerebellar. I have had a lot of anxiety and anger issues since my surgery as well as some physical losses and still have physical limitations and ongoing pain. Do you still have pain or issues you deal with? It’s unpleasant to even brush my hair or have my head touched anywhere near the back of my head/neck area or near where the pin sites were as they’re now tender too. Combined with that and the emotional changes and having to try to figure out career changes has been overwhelming and I’m wondering if I’ll ever feel ok. The MRI contrast also seems to worsen my emotional issues and brain fog. I had residual tumor they couldn’t get so have been monitoring it, had some changes/growth in an area on my MRI last year so had an earlier follow up MRI which was unchanged and now another one next month. Because of the way the neck dissection was done for my surgery I have a lot of neck pain and seem to get spasms/knots and have pain easily with any kind of big lifting or stretching. It’s been hard to adjust to accepting help and these limits. I’m happy to see you succeeding and hoping that in the next 5 years my life feels a little more consistent too.
