glioma surgery
After living with my insular ( hopefully still a grade 2) glioma for almost 16 yrs doctors say it's now possible to remove it surgically. What can I expect to feel like in the first days after surgery?? Any tips for preparing for surgery??
Thank you!

It is awesome you have done well for 16 years, without surgery. Any treatments otherwise? Chemo at all? May I ask how old you are?
How you feel after the surgery depends on where the glioma is located. I am an RN, worked in ICU.
What medical center are you having brain surgery at, may I ask?
I had radiation and chemo in 2009 when I was diagnosed at 42 yrs old. I had more chemo in 2018, and have recently tried the new Voranigo but became neutropenic. Ive been with Mayo since the beginning.
