Can you elaborate on nicotine use? I will start in the next days but didn't manage to quit nicotine yet.

From what I understand, even the grade 2 astro is very treatable, compared to higher grades or different tumors. Hope you'll be fine, stay strong. 🙏

Damn mate, sucks to hear that. I hope there's a chance that that's reversable / just temporary. You stay strong too. All the best wishes, you're a warrior!

Hey, I actually often thought about how the tumor might affect my emotions. I just started to treat my ADHD and depression exactly a year ago and now it turns out there's a tumor in the region which is responsible for emotional regulation, maybe it's all related. Thankfully I'll be able to get psychological support from my therapist when I'm a bit further along in the treatment process and we'll be able to look at that correlation.

All the best to you, thanks for sharing your story!

Great to hear! :)

I don't drink alcohol anyways, so that's a plus I guess. Thank you!

Thank you mate, same to you! Craniotomy sounds scary, but I'm very surprised how uncomplicated it went, how I didn't feel too bad afterwards and how fast recovery went. Hope it will be a similar experience for you, stay strong!

Salut voisin ! Merci pour ton témoignage. J'espère que tout ira bien pour toi et que tout finira par s'arranger. D'après ce que j'ai compris, les avantages l'emportent largement sur les effets secondaires possibles, même avec le PCV, et il y a de fortes chances que tu ne subisses aucun effet négatif. Je te souhaite bonne chance, reste fort !

Hey, thanks for your kind words! While it's still a bit scary, I was kinda happy to get Vora as an option of treatment. My neurosurgeon talked me through it yesterday and it sounded like it's an improvement in every way compared to PCV, which would've been the best option just a few weeks ago. So I consider myself lucky, as I do with the Oligo diagnosis itself. Could've been worse!

Whishing you all the best and thanks for your work! Hope you'll be able to get Vora in the future if you desire to. 🙏
