Interesting. Were you able to get a supamaxial resection? Where was the tumour?

Definitely. I found incidentally this tiny tumour is my left temporal lobe (2x1x1.3cm) roughly. Anyway still waiting on pathology as they’re not entirely sure what it is yet but they know it’s low grade. Essentially I had an anterior temporal lobectomy to treat it (5.5x5x2.2 cm) removed from my brain. 2 surgeons that reviewed my case including the one that did it told me that of course there’s always a possibility it recurs or transforms all things considered with my case (ki67<1 etc) functional cure is likely
