What's your life like after Brain surgery?
I had a 4 cm mengioma removed last year. It was in the skull base and was 14 hr surgery. I have a small regiment left, but watching with yearly MRIs....still have unbalance and numbness. I was curious if anyone else had a situation like this one. I spent a month in the hospital.

My daughter had brain surgery 5 months ago and she feels like her emotions have gone crazy at times. Mood swings & less patience is how she describes it and is wondering if that is a result of her surgery. I know she gets so frustrated and stressed at times. I hate it for her. Anyone else have these problems after surgery?

1 ReactionI had surgery a little over 6 months ago and have definitely struggles with my emotions. I cry ridiculously easy now and can get frustrated quickly, especially if I am over tired. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or just want to talk to someone that has been through brain surgery =) Ill keep your daughter in my prayers.

2 ReactionsThank you @jkenser. From what you replied that sounds so much like my daughter. Are you having any radiation or chemo? What type of tumor did you have? I hope you are doing well. I have talked to a few different ones going through similar situations and it does help to talk. There isn't a support group near where I live so I'm so glad I can connect to people on here. It has helped so much. I tell her everything I learn and if she has questions she has me ask.

1 ReactionYes Danica has had the same mood swings as well and still does. They put her on clonidine! @lmp1
I tried sending a message that was very long but it would not send to you I'm so sorry! @lmp1
Ok I didn't get one. That happens sometimes. It's no problem. Hope all is well as can be. @daniellemarie
Thank you! Hope you and your daughter are well too! Danica has been getting tired and sore legs and feet which are side effects to tafinlar oral chemo @lmp1
Bless her heart! If you private message me your address I would love to send her a card. @daniellemarie

1 ReactionI had 2 Brain tumors removed in 2005. One was the size of a softball and the other was like a golf ball. All went well till 2016. For the last 2 years I can’t stand without swaying, dizzy always and totally fatigued. Went back to the neurologist and was told it was from scar tissue. There is nothing that can be done to help me he said.
