I am due to have an awake craniotomy.
I was diagnosis with a brain tumor to left temporal lobe (affects memory, speech, language comprehension).
I was wondering if anyone has been through an craniotomy and the affects afterwards that followed. My mental health is already affected with receiving this news at 27. And I am feeling low because of the emotions it is causing my family, feel upset and hopeless.
I am scared that I am going to wake up and not be able to cope with the amount affects it will have on my quality of life. As I work as a nurse and I won't be able to return to work, if speech, memory, comprehension of language is affected.
Well wishes
