Benign brain tumiur

Hi Jules  and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear that you have had a tumour removed and you are having some issues but as you say, talking with others can help.

I see you have found our Brain tumours Forum This would be the best place to connect with people who understand the journey you are on.

Follow the link above and go to the 'Start a Discussion' tab just under the main group name and set up your own Discussion and introduce yourself to the group - you could just copy an paste what you have in this first post.

You may find our various Macmillan Support Line Services to be helpful - call them on 0808 808 00 00This free service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, Financial Support and Work Guidance mostly open 8.00 to 8.00 but check the link.

We also have our ‘Ask an Expert’. section where you can post questions to our mostly Volunteer Experts but please allow 2 working days to get a reply.

Talking to people face to face can help a lot so check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Supportin your area or a Maggie’s Centre as these folks are amazing.

All the very best.

Hi Jules, u might find it useful to join the Brain tumours group, so u can be in touch with ppl who've had a similar experience 

It sounds very optimistic hoping to be back at work in a week, especially with the symptoms u describe. Can you do a phased return? Are u on any steroids? It could be you have swelling where the tumour was removed n that's what giving you  the headaches and blurry vision.

You might want to ask the advice of the helpline on  0808 808 0000 re your symptoms and going back to work so soon.

Sorry my reply crossed with Mike's n I didn't read your profile either !!
