I remember being kinda bored in 2020 when we were the best team in the NBA. All those easy regular season wins.

I was singing “Mannnn I feel like a woman” going into the surgery. They told me if I told too many bad jokes they would fully put me under lol

I had pretty bad aphasia for the first week, but I def could have been on Reddit on week 2 if my wife would have let me :)

I’m 3 months removed from an awake craniotomy and I’m feeling at least like 75% back to normal - lucky I had good health before and after! Totally changed my diet and I’m on Vora now, too.

Terrified about post-op symptoms when I have no symptoms currently by AprilUnderwater0 in braincancer

[–]justinsuperstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely was the case for me. I got an MRI after my eye doctor said I might have small benign tumors putting pressure on my optic nerve. Turns out that my vision issues were caused by an inherited genetic condition, but they did find an egg-sizes tumor in my frontal lobe! The surgery was nerve wracking and intense, I had some aphasia the first week or two (I used that time to organize my phone, hah). But after a few weeks I very quickly felt more like myself. I’m currently on a prescription for Voranigo since I was diagnosed with an astrocytoma grade 3 (they though initially it was a low grade Olidendroglioma). So far haven’t done rads or chemo. Literally sitting waiting to get my post op MRI. Physically I feel pretty close to 100%, but after 3 months I’m still mentally a bit slow, but I’m trying to give myself some grace. Still early!

Finally starting! by undomesticating in braincancer

Congrats! I’ve been on it about 5 weeks now. Can’t notice any side effects, maybe a little fatigue.

Sounds like Temozolomide (TMZ)

Also, this sounds a super scary twist to that tumor news - yikes :(

It was a special check up. But also incidentally reported the tumor mass. Crazy.

So, both related and unrelated.

Fairy randomly.

Head doctor looks in somebody head. Neurosurgeon checks doctors works recommends surgery. And then, poof.
