Hello: I had brain surgery in 2014 for a begine brain tumor . It was huge, 12 hour surgery and I still have 2 percent on my brain stem that causes me issues, but it’s better than the alternative. Now I have an mri once a year to make sure it’s Not growing. If it does grow and cause me issues , I will need spot radiation I’m told. Not looking forward to that . I pray each and every day it doesn’t grow. My life now after Brain surgery is difficult enough.
