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

4 years ago today I had my brain tumor removed. Wow what a ride, I’m pretty blessed considering size. Very little deficits. Noticable changes in my life but I’m still here and living my best life all things considered.

I had my surgery in 2009. Recovery was quick. I left the hospital ahead of schedule and returned to work ahead of schedule. My issues came after the recovery period. It started with pain near the incision site. This progressed to problems with speech and memory with the memory getting worse as time progressed. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. Good luck with your recovery.

@martha30 Sorry to hear you have been diagnosed. It is not all bad. Removal of the tumor will help relieve the headaches.

@martha30 Depending on the size and exact location they can either do surgery or now there is a laser instrument that they can use to remove it. Mine was a very slow growing tumor and I had absolutely nothing to indicate it was there. I fell and hit my head on a heavy wooden cabinet. I passed out for a few seconds. Because I hit across my left eye I was afraid I had broken something. I went to the ER and had x-rays done. I didn't break anything but it showed the large tumor. I was immediately referred to a neurosurgeon. He did an MRI and found that it was large with multiple outgrowths. He told me if I had waited even two weeks to come in I would have had a stroke from the pressure it was causing on the brain.
I hope everything goes well for you.
