My story: An "inoperable" brain tumor was surgically removed

Hi Jessica,
Since Dr Burns was on vacation last week when my sister was at Mayo she really was not able to get answers to her many questions should she have to have surgery again when she goes back Aug 9th. How long did you stay in the hospital after your surgery. I realize you live only an hour away but I am trying to get some idea how long my sister will need to remain at Mayo and when she is able to fly back to Atlanta. I also want to be there for her surgery. Her tumor is on the right side behind her ear. That is the one that will probably be removed surgically. Did you require any radiation after your surgery. Thanks so much for your care and support. Sorry about all these questions.
Best Regards,
Nancy

I did not need any radiation or chemo. They were able to remove my entire tumor plus a very large margin around it. My tumor was only 10 mm but they took half of my temporal lobe because we did not know at the time what type of tumor it was.

Nancy,
I was discharged home 48 hours after surgery. I had a very blessed recovery. Dr. Burns is the best, she is in great hands. Please do not hesitate to text or call me. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know xoxo
