Surprised by a Brain Tumour

Hi Everyone

I woke one morning in June with a floppy Right Leg, although I could walk I definitely had neurological symptoms .... they got worse... I had no other symptoms apart from patchy severe nerve pain in lower Right leg in the preceding weeks. My GP  thought I had injured myself ..... OMG.... so I called an Ambulance . After CT & MRI a Left side Parietal 4 cm Tumour and major inflammation, with an additional small tumour in my right lung diagnosed... Steroids helped me to regain some R side function. I was referred to St Georges where a marvelous team removed the tumour followed by radiotherapy by the Cyberknife at The Marsden. I write this as it may help those of you who are facing sudden decisions. 

Initially the tumour was thought to have metastasized from the lung, but the pathology has given a different result, that may work in my favour as the one in my lung is a tricky gremlin. 

I am here to, once I can pin down the pathology of this brain tumour engage with your experiences, ask clinical questions, and link up with some buddies, it is all too much for friends to handle at times so I need somewhere else to be. 

As I suffered neurological deficits on my Right Side I would be grateful for the experiences of others in recovering normal function. I can walk but have intermittent sensation, numbness, cramps, pins needles etc remaining in right leg. I am not on any medication, although I am exercising religiously. 

If you have any physiotherapy wisdom, experience of non-opiod drugs (although they all look awful) that you found helped I would like to know

Wishing you all a good day
