The 1st doctor wanted to get a biopsy of the tumor. They would need to insert a needle into my brain to get that sample. When the pathologist said I could die on the table, I could be paralized on my right side, I could have an eye problem, speech problem or a short term memory problem, I freaked out. My doctor them gave me the option to see someone at Mayo Clinic. Of course, that's where I went. The doctor there was 99% sure the tumor was benign. I ended up having a stereotactic craniotomy. The tumor was benign! My doctor said any microscopic pieces left behind should flush out in my spinal fluid. I ended up developing hydrocephalus, so I ended up back at Mayo Clinic. Had three more brain surgeries followed by antibiotics twice a day for three weeks.

Like I mentioned, do your homework. Get another opinion. Surgery should only be done if it's the last resort. Limit your driving. Better yet, stop driving for now. Can you take something for the nausea? Please don't rush into having surgery. It just sounds like there's still a lot of unanswered questions. Thanks for listening.....
